The driver of the cart did not suffer any injuries after the crash and the incident is currently under investigation, according to WFTV.com, citing investigators and troopers.

In September 2024, a 54-year-old Virginia man was killed in his own backyard after his golf cart overturned and landed on top of him. Additionally, Bonnye Mavis Lear, a 60-year-old employee at the Disneyland Resort in California, died in June that same year after she fell off a moving golf cart.
