About 12:15 p.m., a 78-year-old of Sun City driving the golf car was struck by another vehicle on Loop 303 near Mountain View in Surprise. The Sun Citian suffered severe head injuries in the accident, according to DPS
“This gentleman and his golf cart were in the No. 3 lane when he was struck by a work truck. No one else was hurt. He was alone in the golf cart," Graves said.
It is illegal for golf cars to be on the freeway, Graves said.
