BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — A 68-year-old man from Floridana Beach was killed Monday night after his golf cart was struck by a pickup truck on State Road A1A, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers say the crash happened around 9:32 p.m. near Normandy Place. A 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by a 16-year-old boy from Melbourne Beach, was traveling southbound behind the golf cart. Witnesses told investigators the golf cart had no lights activated at the time of the crash.

The 16-year-old driver of the pickup was not injured.
