Man Dies After Go-Kart Crashes Into Parked Car

A man who crashed a go-kart into a parked car Friday night died at the hospital hours later, authorities said.

Police received a call about the crash at 9:18 p.m., and responded to 16th Street at Pennsylvania Avenue in San Bernardino where a blue go-kart had struck a parked car, San Bernardino City Police said.

The 27-year-old man driving the go-kart was transported to the hospital and was listed in "extremely critical condition," according to police.

Charles Nichols said his father lives down the street from where the crash took place, so Nichols saw the scene after the crash happened.

"I was traumatized and really shocked, nobody wishes that on anybody…" Nichols said. "We all held hands and we prayed for him…"

Two hours after the man was transported to the hospital, he died at the hospital from his injuries late Friday night, said Sgt. Vicki Cervantes of the San Bernardino Police Department.

Whether or not alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash was still unknown, Cervantes said.
