PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a Florida man died after crashing a golf cart into a utility pole.

The Panama City News Herald reports that the crash occurred Monday afternoon in Panama City Beach.

Florida Highway Patrol says the 61-year-old man was driving the cart on the street when he left the roadway, began driving on the shoulder and eventually hit the pole.



The man was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died. His name wasn’t immediately released.

Traffic investigators don’t believe alcohol was a factor in the crash.
