LAKE WORTH BEACH — A sedan struck and killed a 69-year-old Lake Worth Beach woman early Wednesday as she walked near North Dixie Highway, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said.
Investigators say Nelsa Rivera Sablon stepped in front of a southbound 2015 Honda Accord while she walked in the area of North Dixie and Crestwood Boulevard at about 6:15 a.m. The Honda’s driver swerved to avoid the crash but the vehicle struck Sablon with its passenger side front bumper, a sheriff’s crash report said.
The impact of the crash vaulted Sablon onto the Honda’s windshield, then thrown her off the vehicle and onto a sidewalk. She died at the scene.
