A woman was hospitalized after being struck by a car while crossing the intersection of Cocoanut Row and Royal Poinciana Way around 1:05 p.m., according to Palm Beach Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Ogrodnick.
Palm Beach Fire Rescue transported her to a local hospital, where she was reported to be sitting up and speaking with medical personnel. The extent of her injuries is currently unknown.
The incident prompted a temporary closure of the westbound lanes of the Flagler Memorial Bridge—one of three bridges connecting Palm Beach and West Palm Beach. The lanes reopened around 2 p.m., roughly one hour after the crash.
Palm Beach Police are actively investigating the incident.
