Man charged over wife’s death in honeymoon golf buggy tragedy
A widower whose bride of 10 days was killed in a buggy accident on the couple’s tropical Queensland honeymoon has been charged over her death.
Hamilton Island says all of the buggies on the resort are fitted with seat belts and are instructed to obey road rules at all times. (Photo; ABC).
The 30-year-old NSW man was driving a registered golf buggy with his wife on board on Hamilton Island in June when they crashed.
He was believed to have been attempting a U-turn when the buggy tipped, leaving his 29-year-old wife with fatal injuries.
She died at the scene.
Her husband has now been charged with driving without due care and attention causing death, failing to wear a seatbelt and using a mobile phone.
He is expected to face Proserpine Magistrates Court on December 5.
