Summary
A man is in critical condition after plummeting from a golf buggy on Hamilton Island, suffering a severe head injury — just days after another woman died in a separate e-bike crash. The island, a car-free tourist hotspot reliant on golf buggies, enforces strict mainland traffic laws, including speed limits and DUI penalties. This isn’t the first deadly incident: a 2022 buggy crash on the same road involved a faulty vehicle that accelerated unexpectedly. Past accidents include a 2023 collision injuring five, and a 2016 crash that critically wounded a mother and baby. With e-scooters and e-bikes also contributing to accidents, authorities remain vigilant — but safety concerns persist on this paradise island.
