A Brightline train struck a golf cart in Dania Beach, Broward deputies say
A Brightline train struck a golf cart in Dania Beach early Tuesday, deputies said.
The collision happened around 7 a.m. in the area of Old Griffin Road and North Federal Highway, just south of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, according to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.
The golf cart’s driver was not in the vehicle at the time of collision and no injuries were reported, deputies said.
Helicopter video taken by WSVN-Channel 7 shows the damaged golf cart next to the tracks.
Brightline resumed service on Nov. 8 after a 19-month hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic. On that day, one of its trains, which had Brightline President Patrick Goddard on board, struck a car in Pompano Beach.
The people inside the car, a 71-year-old grandmother with her 1-year-old granddaughter, were taken to the hospital. The woman had non-life-threatening injuries and the toddler was alert and conscious when paramedics arrived.
