Two teen girls hospitalized after golf cart collides with van near Wake Forest

WAKE FOREST, N.C. (WNCN) — Two teenage girls were sent to a trauma center after the golf cart they were in was obliterated in a wreck with another vehicle. The accident between the golf cart and a minivan drew a heavy response of emergency personnel to the 7700 block of Stony Hill Road, near Stonewyck Lane northwest of the Town of Wake Forest. Chief of the Northern Wake Fire Department, Blake Wright, told a CBS 17 crew on the scene that both teenage girls were sent to Duke Hospital for traumatic injuries. The other driver in the crash, an adult male behind the wheel of the minivan, was not injured, he added. One member of the neighborhood, who wished to remain anonymous, said it wasn't the first time a golf cart has been spotted in the neighborhood. "And oftentimes they'll have kids piled on, you know, more than what should be allowed in a golf cart given the number of seats that were there," Romero said. "So, definitely a safety concern." At this time, it has not been determined which vehicle was at fault and what precipitated the wreck. CBS 17 has reached out to investigators with the NC State Highway Patrol and has heard no additional information. This is a developing story and will be updated.
