CASE #: 2021-3874

On Sunday, September 19, 2021, at approximately 3:33 pm, deputies from the Gage County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a motor vehicle accident at the Beatrice Country Club. A vehicle heading southbound on South 1^st Road between Oak Street and West Lilac Road, left the roadway, drove through a barbed wire fence, and onto the golf course near the 7^th Hole tee box.  Several linksman on the course witnessed the accident and reported it to the sheriff’s office.

The driver, a juvenile female, came to the sheriff’s office a short time later with a parent and reported the incident. The driver was issued a citation by an investigator at the sheriff’s office and released to her parent.

A request was sent to the manager of the Beatrice Country Club for an estimate of the damage to the golf course, however it appears the only damage is to a small section of the barbed wire fence and some cosmetic damage to grass surrounding the 7^th tee.

The driver and the other two occupants were wearing their safety belts. Speed and alcohol are not considered to be a factor in the accident.
