A 14-year‑old from West Lake sustained serious injuries after falling off a golf cart while standing during a turn near Loxahatchee, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. The incident, which occurred on Friday at the intersection of Grapeview Boulevard and Tangerine Boulevard, left the adolescent with head injuries and brief unconsciousness before he was transported to hospital care. The driver and two other teenage occupants were unharmed. The event took place in the context of Florida’s new golf cart law, effective July 1, which raises the minimum driving age to 15 with a learner’s permit or 16 with a valid license, reinforcing the evolving legal landscape governing golf cart use in the region.
