Statesville, North Carolina, Father And Son Die After Impaired Driver Hits Their Golf Cart

A North Carolina father and son lost their lives in a horrific car accident on June 16, 2022. Michael Marlowe was driving a golf cart with his 5-year-old son and several family members when an oncoming car swerved and struck the cart.

The driver of the car is 23-year-old Austin Ray Harmon.

State Trooper Jeffrey Swagger explained, "Golf carts are a fun recreational activity for folks to get out and go for a ride, but when that mixes with a collision with a vehicle the end is often tragic."

The other family members in the golf cart include three minors — ages 16, 13, and 2 — and a 26-year-old. Both Michael and 5-year-old Bentley died at the scene. The pair are being remembered by those who knew and loved them.
