A six-year-old girl, Emma Riddle, tragically lost her life following a go-kart malfunction at an Urban Air Adventure Park in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The incident occurred last Saturday while Emma was riding with her mother. The go-kart is described as a ride that requires remote activation by an employee.
According to the family's attorney, as soon as the go-kart was activated, it began accelerating and braking erratically, unresponsive to the riders. The vehicle allegedly accelerated at high speed, crashing into a wall. The family's legal team is investigating mechanical failures and alleges that the go-kart's seatbelts were locked and inoperable.
Emma was rushed to the hospital but tragically died the following day. Her grieving family has hired attorneys to investigate the cause of the accident and how it could have been prevented. The community remembers Emma as a bright, loving child, and her loss has left her loved ones devastated.
