Car accidents in Florida claim the lives of about eight people each day. While most crashes involve cars, some accidents involve non-traditional vehicles, including mopeds, bicycles, dirt bikes, and golf carts. These crashes frequently involve smaller vehicles and, as a result, tend to lead to more serious outcomes for victims. Police will continue to investigate this crash in order to determine the cause.

We would like to offer our condolences to those affected by this golf cart crash in Naples.
