As per the initial information, the fatal crash took place on westbound Highway 28 in Tahoe City just after 6:20 a.m. The wreck occurred near the Grove Street exit, which is next to the Tahoe City Golf Course.

The man died of his injuries as a result of the accident. Drugs or alcohol did not seem to be involved in the crash. The utility golf cart belonged to the Tahoe City Downtown Association.
