A Florida man who was allegedly driving a golf cart while intoxicated was arrested after his passenger fell off the motorized vehicle and later succumbed to her injuries.

According to reports, in the early morning hours on March 9, a man who lives in The Villages community was driving a golf cart with a 60-year-old female passenger. He also reportedly had a cooler with a case of beer and a few empty cans inside the small, slow-moving vehicle. When they were close to his residence, the man reportedly had to swerve to prevent colliding with a parked car. During the unanticipated turn, the woman tumbled out of the cart and landed on the pavement.
