BROWNWOOD, TX — A 62-year-old Brownwood woman was killed Saturday night when the golf cart-style off-highway vehicle she was driving rolled over on a Brown County road, authorities reported.
Laquetta Ann Day died at the scene of the single-vehicle crash on Farm-to-Market Road 585, about 8 miles north of the Grosvenor community, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The crash occurred around 9:01 p.m. on May 23.
Preliminary investigation showed Day was traveling northbound on the wrong side of the road in a no-passing zone when she abruptly steered to the right, causing the 2024 Taizhou Nebula Power Company golf cart-style OHV to overturn in the northbound lane, DPS Sgt. Marc A. Couch reported in a news release.
Day was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle. A passerby discovered the golf cart on its driver’s side with Day pinned underneath. She was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Alcohol is believed to have been a contributing factor, DPS said.
The posted speed limit in the area is 75 mph. Weather conditions were clear and the road was dry. No one else was injured.
