A boy was killed Friday after getting ejected from the golf cart he was in, which was being driven by his father in the Anthem Country Club.
The father was driving with 12-year-old Josh Stevens at about 10 p.m. on the Chenal Pass. As he drove down the street, the father saw a parked trailer with a boat in front of him. He swerved to avoid the boat, but the cart clipped the boat — causing the cart to tip onto two wheels. Both father and son were ejected from the cart.
The son was taken to St. Rose Siena Hospital, but he was pronounced dead. The father suffered non life-threatening injuries.
The street was in a gated, private community, so it is not illegal for the golf cart to be driven on the street.
Toxicology tests will determine if drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash.
Very sorry for that dad…thinking of all involved.

We all feel really bad about what has happened. Please stay strong and hold each other up during this time of grief. You are in our prayers. I wish I was in the area to somehow help. Just remember your friends in California love you and are thinking about you everyday.
