A new mom has been killed in a horror golf cart crash at a private members’ club in Maryland.
Mary Beth Blasetti, 32, died after being launched from the vehicle near Sherwood Forest Club on Saturday.
She sustained life threatening injuries and was helicoptered to the hospital where she passed away two days later.
The beloved mom leaves behind her two-month-old daughter Mary Katharine and devastated husband Nick, 33.
‘Marybeth was such a beautiful person,’ her mother-in-law Sandi Blasetti said. ‘Our family is devastated by the tragic loss of her.’
The horror unfolded on the 600 block of Maid Marion Hill in Annapolis, close to the private member’s club’s golf course.
Blasetti was a passenger in the buggy which either hit a bump or jostled whilst travelling over one surface to another, police said.
She either then fell or was ejected out and sustained the injuries which she would ultimately succumb to, a preliminary investigation found.
The golf cart was being driven by an as-yet unidentified 32-year-old woman from Crownsville.
Police are not releasing her details pending an ongoing investigation, Anne Arundel County Police spokesman Marc Limansky said.
‘It is incredibly sad,’ he added. ‘When police arrived the fire department was already on the scene.
‘She had sustained an injury and was airlifted to University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center.
‘Even though it was a gold cart it is still classed as a vehicle. The Traffic Safety Section is actively investigating the collision.’
Blasetti was a University of West Virginia alum and WVU Alpha Phi sorority sister.
Her classmates shared poignant images of floral tributes they had laid in her memory at the sorority house.
Blasetti worked as an account manager for Golden Hippo, a brand marketing company.
A senior director at the company described her as a ‘superstar’ at work.
‘But above all else, [she was] a lovely and wonderful person,’ Ben Middlemas said.
He shared a link to a GoFundMe which has been set up to pay for funeral costs which has so far raised closed to $250,000.
‘Mary Beth brought joy to so many and had a wide community of friends and family who are devastated by her sudden passing,’ her friend Olivia McKenna wrote.
‘She was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her.’
McKenna revealed that Blasetti and her husband had just bought their first home and had only welcomed their daughter in September.
A remembrance service will be held on November 25.
