A grandfather, his niece, and his two grandkids were killed after a drunk driver crashed into a golf cart in Galveston, police said.
The Galveston city council held a discussion to possibly change the rules surrounding golf carts after a crash killed 4 people.Galveston officials met Thursday morning to discuss possible changes to its golf cart ordinance after a deadly crash involving a suspected drunk driver last weekend.
"I'm not sure if any of the regulations that were talking about couldn't control that," Galveston Mayor Craig Brown explained. "I would say this though, the accident happened at 11 p.m. There were a number of young children on that golf cart." But it's not just golf carts that council members are looking at. We're told they plan to review all modes of transportation, including bikes and scooters, as well as taking a hard look at drinking and driving.
Councilmember Marie Robb was vocal in bringing changes last year. Following this tragedy, she's determined to bring change.The family killed Saturday wasn't hit on the Seawall, but Robb believes they were there prior to the crash. She said she wants to ban golf carts from the Seawall.
