JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. - The teenage boy operating a golf cart in the Durbin Crossing subdivision when a younger teenager fell off and was seriously hurt last month has been cited by the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office. Deputies said there were six children on the golf cart July 9 when someone set off a firework and Luke Tabor hit his head on the road. The 15-year-old who was operating the golf cart has been cited with a moving violation. In addition, the golf cart was traveling down North Durbin Parkway, which is a 30 mph roadway; a county law limits the use of golf carts to 25 mph roads. The Sheriffs Office said this latest incident was the third golf cart-related accident involving a head injury in St. Johns County so far this year.
