West Palm Beach, FL (February 24, 2020) - A 61-year-old man was killed in a crash that took place in West Palm Beach on Sunday, February 23rd. The crash happened around 9:55 a.m. at the intersection of Okeechobee Boulevard and Military Trail.
According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Raymond Scott Markley was traveling eastbound in a 2010 GMC Yukon. At the same time, a Hyundai Elantra was traveling behind Markley's vehicle. As Markley attempted to make a right turn onto Military Trail, the Elantra attempted to pass Markley's vehicle, however, it struck the passenger side door of the vehicle instead. Markley then drove over a raised median and crashed into a concrete wall. He was later pronounced dead as a result of his injuries. The Elantra driver was not immediately identified.
The cause of the crash is under investigation at this time. There are no additional details available.
