A man who the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office described as mentally ill was spotted driving recklessly at the Lake Worth Beach parking lot on State Road A1A. After seeing a deputy, the driver fled in his van south to Lantana, where he crashed through the gate at the beach at the end of Ocean Avenue.
His vehicle fell over the wall and partly onto the sand. The sheriff’s office took the man into custody.
