A newlywed bride was killed in a tragic golf buggy accident during her honeymoon.
Marina Morgan was in a golf buggy being driven by new husband Robbie on Hamilton Island in Australia when the vehicle overturned as they attempted to make a U-turn.
Mr Morgan escaped uninjured but his 29-year-old wife tragically died at the scene, say reports.
A doctor, an off-duty dentist and an off-duty firefighter all rushed to the couple's aid following the accident on Whitsunday Boulevard.
CPR was performed on Mrs Morgan for 35 minutes but to no avail.
The couple, from the Strathfield area of Sydney, had been married for just 10 days when Mrs Morgan died.
Queensland Police Inspector Anthony Cowan described the death as a “tragic accident,” while speaking to the media, and said that there was “no indication of alcohol or dangerous driving”.
“It was just a tragic accident with a golf buggy,” he said in quotes reported by The Sun.
“There may have been some inexperience driving those type of vehicles while turning it has rolled on its side and the woman has fallen out and sustained life-threatening injuries.
“It just appears inexperience in driving that type of vehicle, turned too quick and rolled on its side and unfortunately, it has ended up with this result.
“It appears there was no seatbelt worn at this point in time; we come back to the Fatal Five but now is not the time to dwell on what they should have done.”
Inspector Cowan added that when Robbie attempted to perform a U-turn, the vehicle's battery was low and he could have been wanting to return to a charging point.
Graeme McIntyre, Queensland Ambulance Service Acting Director for the Mackay District, added that Mrs Morgan had been put in a “lateral position to clear her airway” but she had already suffered a cardiac arrest when paramedics arrived.
Hamilton Island is a popular tourist destination off the east coast of Queensland and golf buggies are the main means of transport.
