Disney employee dies after fall from recklessly driven golf cart

Bonnye Mavis Lear was a dedicated administrator at Disneyland’s exclusive Club 33. Tragically, she died after being thrown from a golf cart that was reportedly driven recklessly behind the Critter Country area. The accident occurred at approximately 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Thus, resulting in severe head trauma and a fractured skull, which led to her death two days later.

Witnesses report that Lear was riding in a rear-facing seat when the cart hit a bump. Thus, causing her to grab for a handrail that gave way, sending her out of the vehicle. “The incident has been labeled a traffic collision, but those who witnessed the event are calling it reckless driving,” stated Rae Delgado, a Disney California Adventure attractions cast member.

The golf cart, recently introduced by the entertainment department, has raised questions about its safety and handling. “It’s unbelievable how a brand-new cart could fall apart like that,” added Delgado, highlighting the anger and confusion among Disneyland staff.

Lear’s death has sparked an outpouring of grief among her colleagues and friends. “We are heartbroken by the loss of Bonnye and extend our sincere condolences to her family,” said Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock. The park has pledged to support Lear’s family and provide resources to cast members affected by the tragedy.

Authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident to determine the exact circumstances and potential liabilities involved. Disney management has requested that employees remain discreet about the details of the incident as investigations proceed.

The incident has also brought attention to the operational safety protocols for park vehicles and the need for stringent checks to prevent such tragic occurrences in the future.
