In a Bizarre Turn of Events, Innocent 6-Year-Old’s Life Gets Snatched Away During a Golf Cart Ride

Golf is a happy sport, in the main. It’s an innocuous sport, to all intents and purposes. But every now and then, something happens that shocks the golf community not a little. Like this one involving a little child!   

A small child who was trying to have some fun and taking a ride in a golf cart on the streets of Summerville was involved in an accident. And sadly, he succumbed to his injuries. Let’s find out what happened.

6-year-old, fatally injured in an accident, died last week

As per the Berkeley County coroner, last week, unfortunately, a 6-year-old died in a golf cart accident in the Cane Bay neighborhood. According to the coroner, Darnell Hartwell this happened at the North Creek Drive on the evening of October 14 when the boy was riding in a golf cart on a pathway that is for walking for pedestrians and golf carts off the main road. He revealed that the child fell out of the cart and was “accidentally fatally struck.”

He informed the newspapers “The Post and Courier” on October 17 that the boy identified as Aarow Robinson of Summerville was not alone but was taking the ride in the company of other passengers in the second row of the cart. No one exactly knows how the child fell out of the vehicle and was run over by it. No other vehicle was involved in the case. 

According to the local media, the police, medical service, and fire truck were quick to arrive on the scene of the accident, and the boy was taken to a local hospital. But he passed away on the way and when arrived at the hospital the doctor pronounced him dead before 7 PM.

No charges against anyone have been filed in the case yet. Nor is there any case of traffic violations as of now. The coroner is being assisted by S.C. Highway Patrol in the matter.

The traffic laws in South Carolina allow low-speed vehicles like golf carts to be driven on the road. Any person with a valid driver’s license could drive a golf cart on the road during the daytime. However, there are certain regulations.

Such vehicles should only be driven on the roads that are within four miles of the registration address and they shouldn’t cross the speed limit of 35 mph. What do you make of the unfortunate incident? Do you think the rules should be stricter? Let us know in the comments section below.
