The Villages, FL (March 13, 2026) – A 75-year-old man was critically injured after two golf carts collided Wednesday night, March 11, at the intersection of Aloha Way and Paradise Drive in The Villages.
Emergency units responded to the crash around 8:12 p.m. on the Historic Side of the community. Officials said a 2010 Yamaha golf cart driven by the 75-year-old man collided with a 2002 Club Car golf cart operated by a 65-year-old woman.
The man suffered critical injuries and was taken by ambulance to Ocala Regional Medical Center for treatment. Authorities said the woman driving the other golf cart was not injured and remained at the scene.
Officials did not release additional details about the circumstances leading up to the crash, but the crash remains under investigation.
Our thoughts remain with the injured man as he receives medical care.
Why Golf Cart Crashes Can Lead to Serious Injuries
Communities such as The Villages often use golf carts for daily transportation along neighborhood roads and designated paths. While these vehicles travel at lower speeds than cars, they offer less structural protection for those inside.
Golf carts typically do not include the same safety features found in passenger vehicles, such as reinforced frames or airbags. As a result, riders may be more exposed during a collision.
Intersections like Aloha Way and Paradise Drive can create situations where two golf carts approach from different directions at the same time. Limited visibility or misjudging another driver’s movement can increase the risk of a crash.
