MELBOURNE, Fla. – Troopers are searching for a pickup truck that reportedly crashed into a golf cart in Melbourne, leaving a father and son critically hurt.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the crash happened at 9 p.m. Monday at the intersection of Harlock Road and Lake Washington Road.
According to FHP, a 48-year-old Melbourne man was driving northbound on Harlock Road in a golf cart with his 17-year-old son, when a pickup truck traveling in the same direction, “failed to slow or stop,” and struck the back of the golf cart.
