Early Sunday morning, the Salina Police Department, alongside Salina Fire Department EMS, responded to a call reporting the death of a 56-year-old man found at Great Life Golf and Fitness.
An employee of Great Life Golf at 1800 S. Marymount Road found the victim underneath a golf cart unresponsive.
Once EMS arrived, they confirmed his death at the scene.
According to SPD sergeant Kyle Tonniges, the department learned that overnight, the victim was driving the golf cart, veered off the cart patch and struck a tree, causing the golf cart to land on top of him.
A subject walking the course the following day discovered the victim and reported the incident.
The SPD traffic unit is investigating the incident as a vehicle crash.
Salina Post will update the story as more information becomes available.
