A tragic accident at a private golf course in Maryland claimed the life of a new mother over the weekend. Mary Beth Blasetti, 32, was fatally injured when she was ejected from a golf cart she was riding in on Saturday at Maid Marion Hill. The golf cart, driven by another woman, hit a dip in the terrain, causing Blasetti to be thrown from the vehicle.
Blasetti, who had recently given birth to a daughter, was airlifted to a hospital following the incident. Despite the best efforts of medical professionals, she succumbed to her injuries two days later on Monday.
The Anne Arundel County Police Department is currently investigating the incident. However, initial findings suggest that the incident was a tragic accident. Department spokesperson Justin Mulcahy expressed his condolences, stating, “This is an extremely tragic, unfortunate situation. Our hearts go out to everyone impacted and we will continue investigating it with the State’s Attorney’s Office just to determine what happened here.”
Blasetti, a beloved wife and mother, leaves behind a two-month-old daughter. She and her husband had recently celebrated the purchase of their first home in Annapolis. Her sudden passing has left her community in shock and mourning.
Friends and family remember Blasetti as a source of joy and a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Her sudden absence is deeply felt by all who knew her. A GoFundMe page set up to support her grieving family has raised more than $276,000 as of Wednesday night.
The tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of recreational vehicles like golf carts, and the importance of safety precautions when operating them.
