Authorities in Lady Lake are on the lookout for a golf cart driver involved in a hit-and-run incident that left a Veterans Memorial Park monument in disrepair. According to ClickOrlando, the collision occurred on Saturday, Sept. 20, near Spanish Springs Town Square in The Villages, when the driver mounted a curb and struck a marble stone marker, causing about $1,500 in damage.
The aftermath of the incident was captured on a video that shows bystanders rushing to aid the driver, managing to put the golf cart upright.
