A 1-year-old died Sunday after the golf cart he was riding in with his family hit a pothole which caused a steering malfunction before it overturned, according to the North Carolina State Highway Patrol.
Three adults and four children were riding in the golf cart in Mooresville, North Carolina, north of the Trump National Golf Club on Lake Norman, about 35 miles north of Charlotte.
