PALM BEACH, Fla. — An out-of-control motorcycle involved in a crash struck a pedestrian in the parking lot of a nearby golf course in the town of Palm Beach, police said.

The crash occurred at about noon along Ocean Boulevard near Lake Avenue.

Palm Beach police Capt. Will Rothrock said two motorcycles crashed near the entrance to the Palm Beach Par 3 Golf Course.

Rothrock said after one motorcyclist was ejected, the motorcycle continued into the parking lot and struck a pedestrian.

Katie Cahill said she was trying to cross Ocean Boulevard when she witnessed the crash.

"One gentleman's bike was still upright, and it came through the parking lot, making a turn over towards where our fellow golfer was standing, and I think it knocked her down," Cahill told WPTV.

The two motorcyclists and pedestrian were taken to a hospital, but their conditions weren't immediately known.

Cahill said she believed her friend's wrist was broken.

Both directions of Ocean Boulevard were closed near the golf course during the crash investigation. All lanes reopened shortly after 2 p.m.
