What was supposed to be a relaxing day out on the golf course turned into an unimaginable nightmare for a father and son in Georgia. Matthew Terrell Collins Sr., 58, and his 29-year-old son Matthew Terrell Collins Jr., a former police officer, were both killed when a tree fell on their golf cart during a sudden storm on April 6.

The pair had been enjoying a round of golf at Bull Creek Golf Course in Midland when the weather started to turn. Like many would in the same situation, they took shelter under a tree, hoping to wait out the worst of it. But in a cruel twist of fate, the tree they’d trusted to protect them collapsed, crushing them underneath, reported the Express.
