Prayers Showered After a Woman and a Child Get Involved in a Horrific Incident at a Golf Course in South Carolina

Accidents occur every day and everywhere. And when it comes to the world of sports, it is far more common than one would imagine. Similar to other sports, golf too has seen its fair share of accidents on the course. From crashing golf carts to golfers collapsing on the course, the sport seems to have seen it all. But a recent accident that occurred on a course in South Carolina involving a woman and child has them all beat, especially because of its horrifying nature.

The Myrtle Beach golf course tragedy

The US has seen many accidents occur on golf courses, the one that occurred on 28th February, was quite horrific. The incident took place at the Whispering Pines Golf Course in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and its tragic events were unlike anything the course had previously witnessed.

On Tuesday night, as per The Sun News, the officers of the Myrtle Beach Police Department responded to a call at about 5 p.m. A woman had driven her car right across the golf course and straight into a pond near the fourth hole. But that wasn’t at all the scariest part of the incident. Inside the car was a child!

The Myrtle Beach Fire Department and Horry County Fire Rescue also joined the cops. Together they assisted the diving team in dragging the car, a white SUV, out of the water hazards on the course. Moreover, the personnel rescued the woman and the child from the sunk car wreckage.

Injuries sustained during the accident

Fortunately for the pair, they were unharmed by the unfortunate incident. According to the report, neither of the two suffered any serious injuries in the aftermath. The cause of the accident is still unknown, but the police have confirmed that they are investigating the incident as a DUI (driving under the influence). Which makes it more plausible that the disoriented woman drove off Harrelson Boulevard and straight onto the course.

The woman who was behind the wheel was immediately taken into custody after the incident. But despite that, since the conclusions from the investigation are still pending, no formal charges have been filed yet.
