SAN ANGELO, Texas — A 41-year-old man died after an incident involving a golf cart he was riding in - San Angelo Police say the driver of the cart was under the influence of alcohol.
At around 6:16 p.m. Saturday, June 29 officers responded to a call of an unconscious person in the 5500 block of Enclave Court. Police say a golf cart operated by Emilee Krieger, 28, "caused a serious accident resulting in injuries to the passenger, Dustin Patino, 41."
