Teen Injured In Golf Cart Accident
ROCHESTER HILLS (WWJ) - A golf cart accident in northern Oakland County leaves a Rochester Hills teen hospitalized.
The Oakland County Sheriff's Department says the 17-year old was in a cart that went off a cart path at the Copper Hills Golf Course on Lakeville Road Wednesday afternoon and hit a tree. The driver of the cart "failed to negotiate a curve in the path" and lost control of the cart, according to the sheriff's department.
Investigators say the victim sustained a head injury.
The driver of the golf cart, a 16-year old from Orchard Lake, tried to drive his friend to an urgent care facility in Brandon Township, but he got lost and called 911.
An ambulance crew took the 17-year old to Crittenton Hospital. The victim is in stable condition.
The crash remains under investigation.
