BOYNTON BEACH, FL (Boca Post) — The Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office tells Boca Post that they are investigating an accident involving a fatality after a 34-year-old reportedly laid down behind a vehicle as it backed out of a parking spot.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office tells Boca Post that at approximately 1:03 PM on Wednesday, September 14th, 2022, deputies responded to the Wells Fargo parking lot located at 9990 Military Trail in Boynton Beach.

Responding PBSO district deputies and Palm Beach County Fire Rescue located a 34-year-old woman, identified as Janet Walsh, who had been run over by a Honda Civic.
