DAHLONEGA, Ga. — A Dahlonega man was killed and three others injured today when the golf cart they were riding apparently lost its brakes, sped down a steep grade and overturned at the Achasta Country Club in Lumpkin County.

According to Lumpkin County Sheriff Stacy Jarrard, 83-year-old James “Jim” Hansard was pronounced dead at the scene and three others were transported to the hospital with undisclosed injuries. “Their injuries did not appear to be life threatening,” Jarrard said.
