Troopers said the crash remains under investigation.
Under a state law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in May, golf cart drivers must be at least 15 with a learner's permit or 16 with a driver's license. The law goes into effect on Oct. 1.
The law had previously allowed anyone 14 and older to drive a golf cart.
