A rural Saline County man died late Monday morning in a one-vehicle accident south of Gypsum.
Saline County Sheriff's Lieutenant Jeremiah Hayes said this morning that emergency responders were dispatched to the 8900 block of South Gypsum Valley Road in the southeastern part of the county at 11:45 a.m. Monday for the report of a golf cart accident.
Hayes said that Frederick Meyer, 84, was driving a golf cart on his property to check his mail when the golf cart went into the ditch. Meyer was ejected and the golf cart rolled on top of him, Hayes explained. Meyer was pronounced dead at the scene, Hayes said.
A passerby noticed the golf cart in the ditch and called Meyer's family, who found him and notified authorities, Hayes added.
