Bronco driver crashes into golfers on Delaware course

On August 29, at approximately 2:20 pm, a Ford Bronco drove onto the Deerfield Golf Club in Newark, Delaware, colliding with a group of golfers and injuring one individual. The incident was captured on video, showing the vehicle speeding across the course, narrowly avoiding golf carts before crashing into the group. Following the hit-and-run, Delaware Natural Resources Police identified a suspect who was later taken to a hospital for evaluation after making statements that raised concerns about his mental state. The suspect faces multiple charges, including Driving Under the Influence of Drugs and Reckless Endangerment, among others. Witnesses reported that prior to the crash, the driver was performing donuts on the driving range, prompting one golfer to record the incident in an attempt to document the reckless behavior. As the golfer attempted to capture the driver's license plate, the driver allegedly turned towards him, escalating the situation dramatically. The golfer, who shared his experience on social media, described the rapid shift from taking pictures to fearing for his life. This incident has raised questions about the safety measures in place at the golf course and the potential for similar occurrences in the future. The Deerfield Golf Club, a 145-acre facility, offers various recreational activities, and this event has drawn attention to the need for enhanced security. As the investigation continues, officials have not disclosed whether the driver was recklessly operating the vehicle on the driving range. The suspect is expected to be arraigned after being released from the hospital, and the community is left to grapple with the implications of this alarming event.
