According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO), at 10:45 p.m., a Nissan Frontier pickup truck was traveling east on Southern Blvd. in the right lane when it began to switch to the right turning lane to turn south onto Kirk Road.
As the driver of the pickup was changing lanes, deputies say MM walked from south to north into the path of the pickup.
