MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A 17-year-old girl has died after she was pinned underneath a golf cart at a campground in Columbia County.
The girl died Wednesday at University Hospital in Madison, three days after she was injured at the Crystal Lake Campground in the Town of West Point, authorities said.
The teen and her mother were thrown from the golf cart Sunday when it rolled down a steep hill to the Crystal Lake shoreline. The golf cart landed on its side, pinning the girl underneath, according to sheriff’s officials.
Bystanders were able to get the golf cart off the girl before emergency services arrived, the State Journal reported.
Columbia County Sheriff Roger Brandner says the girl had no pulse and was not breathing when Lodi paramedics arrived. They were able to revive her at the scene.
Both the girl and her mother had been drinking alcohol, Brandner said.
