The April 14 incident involved one of the hospital’s valet golf carts that transports patients and visitors to and from the parking decks.
Three people were treated immediately by the hospital’s emergency medicine and trauma teams. Two were treated and released. One, a patient, passed away.
“While we have every indication this was a tragic accident, we are conducting a thorough investigation to learn exactly how this occurred, and, most importantly, to ensure an event such as this does not happen again,” a spokesperson for the hospital told Becker’s.
