Death of Jeff Sperbeck, John Elway's longtime business partner, ruled an accident: Report
Authorities have closed the investigation into the golf cart-related death of Jeff Sperbeck, the longtime business partner, former agent and friend of Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway, and ruled it an accident. 'It's over,'' Riverside County (Calif.) Sheriff Chad Bianco told Denver's 9News about the investigation. 'We've talked to everyone involved, and we found nothing new. There was nothing criminal; it was what we've been saying all along, that this was a tragic accident.' Advertisement Sperbeck died on April 26 as a result of injuries he sustained four days earlier after falling off the back of a golf cart driven by Elway. The incident occurred at a private golf community in La Quinta, Calif., the Riverside County Sheriff's Office said at the time. Medical personnel responded to the incident and transported Sperbeck to a local hospital in critical condition. The Riverside County Sheriff's Office plans to release a formal announcement in the upcoming days that its investigation has concluded, according to 9News. The Riverside coroner's bureau ruled Sperbeck's cause of death to be blunt force trauma and determined his manner of death was an accident, the station reported. Sperbeck began managing Elway's business interests during Elway's playing career with the Denver Broncos in the 1990s. The two opened 7Cellars Winery together in 2013. 'I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken by the passing of my close friend, business partner and agent Jeff Sperbeck,' Elway said in a statement at the time of Sperbeck's death. 'Jeff will be deeply missed for the loyalty, wisdom, friendship and love he brought into my life and the lives of so many others.' (Photo of John Elway: Ron Chenoy / Imagn Images)

Golf cart traffic stop results in drunk driving charge
Golf carts at Settlers' Ghost Golf Club in the Township of Oro-Mendonte, Ont. Monday April, 29, 2024 (CTVNews/Mike Lang) Ontario Provincial Police made an unusual drunk driving arrest on June 22. Just after 1:20 a.m., officers from the Huron County detachment spotted a golf cart travelling on Victoria Street North in Goderich. They said they stopped the vehicle because it did not have its lights on. The cart driver had allegedly been drinking alcohol before getting behind the wheel. The 40-year-old from St. Clements had also been issued a three-day suspension of his driver's licence the day before after he was given a roadside breathalyzer test. Police arrested the man and took him to the OPP detachment in Clinton where he gave a breath sample, which showed he was at twice the legal limit. The man was charged with impairing driving and driving while suspended. OPP said the golf cart was towed and impounded for seven days, while the man's driver's licence was suspended for 90 days.

Yes, You Can Buy a Golf Cart at Amazon—and We Found an Electric, 4-seat Option for $8K
What says summer more than cruising around a beach town in a golf cart? If you frequent some of Florida's communities or islands like Amelia, Anna Maria, and Captiva, where open-air low-speed vehicles (LSVs) seem to outnumber actual cars, you know this freeing feeling. Golf carts are not just legal to drive in parts of the Sunshine State, but they're actually encouraged. The state's Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles says as long as they stay off the highways, golf carts provide a 'great way to enjoy local communities and natural spaces.' Some other locales across the U.S. are adopting this laid-back mindset and welcoming these 'vehicles' on the streets: Highland, Utah; Monroe, Michigan; and Shelbyville, Indiana, are just a few places where golf carts are newly street-legal as of 2025. This summer, in addition to perfecting your beach packing list, why not get your own set of wheels? Cruise the neighborhood, take it to the campground, or bring it on your beach vacation (check the LSV laws, obviously)—we'll save you a trip to the dealership with this golf cart we found at Amazon. Adding to the list of strange and unexpected things you can buy at Amazon (including entire homes), this electric-powered golf cart comes from Dallas-headquartered off-road recreational vehicle seller Kandi America and is just over $8,000. That's on the lower end of the pricing spectrum, as new models can cost, on average, as much as $15,000 to $20,000. The cart seats four, thanks to the inclusion of a rear bench, and the hard-shell roof extends over the back to keep all passengers dry and shaded. It comes equipped with electric power steering and a backup camera that connects to the seven-inch LCD screen to make it easy to maneuver—you don't want to end up on one of those 'golf cart fail' compilations. The cart reaches a full charge in 6.5 hours, and it doesn't need any special plug-ins—it's compatible with a 120-volt outlet, which is the standard outlet in the U.S. Fully charged, the 5,000-watt motor should be good for about 28 miles. If you were to drive only at its top speed—20 mph—you'd be able to go for almost an hour and a half without needing to charge. Reviewers love how much quieter the electric motor is than gas-powered carts, which is an especially important feature in campgrounds. They're impressed with the suspension and that it sits higher off the ground than other models, claiming it 'rides like a Jeep' out on the trails. 'It's loaded up with incredible features, and the design is fantastic,' one wrote, deeming it a 'head-turner.' There's an even more jazzed-up version with a 28-inch soundbar and LED lighting system for an extra fee. In case you're wondering how your regular Amazon delivery driver will get this 1,500-pound package off the truck, the brand assures the cart will come to you via freight, and you can choose your own delivery time. In terms of brand reputation (because buying any vehicle on the internet raises questions), Kandi American is a well-known manufacturer you can find at Lowe's and other big-name dealers. Though it's one of the more affordable golf carts we've found at Amazon, it's surprisingly not the only option. We discovered alternatives ranging from a Kandi six-seater to a $14,000 solar-charging cart on sale for $11,000. Shop around for a fresh, new summer ride, below. For families and bigger groups, this six-seater version of the Kandi America golf cart might be more practical. It has most of the same features as the four-seater, but with an extra row of seats and a bit more range (37 miles on a single charge, the brand says). Despite the larger size, it still plugs into a normal electrical outlet. $14,000 $11,000 at Amazon Going for 56 miles on a charge, this is the cart with the highest range that we found at Amazon. The luxe cruiser has a slightly higher-powered 51.2-volt lithium battery and a 400-watt solar panel on the roof, which alone can charge the battery from zero percent to full in 48 hours. High-tech amenities include the 10-inch LCD screen, Bluetooth, and Apple AirPlay. At the time of publishing, the price started at $8,099. Love a great deal?
