A woman died two days after she was involved in a golf cart accident in Maryland, according to police.
Officers responded to the scene in Annapolis on Saturday at 7:24 p.m. local time, a press release from the Anne Arundel County Police Department said. A preliminary investigation found that Mary Blasetti, 32, was a passenger in an E-Z-GO golf cart and received "life-threatening" injuries during the accident.
The woman was airlifted to the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. She died on Monday, two days after the crash.
The driver, another 32-year-old woman, was not identified by police.
The Anne Arundel County Traffic Safety Section is investigating the incident.
Blasetti was ejected from the golf cart when the vehicle hit a dip in the road, reported WJZ News.
Police believe the incident was an accident.
GoFundMe set up to help husband, infant daughter
Blasetti leaves behind her husband and 2-month-old daughter, according to a GoFundMe fundraiser created to help the grieving family.
Her husband and daughter "will have plenty to navigate over the next few months," it stated. "So we’d like to soften that burden by helping them financially."
The couple bought their first home and welcomed their baby in September, according to the fundraiser.
"Mary Beth brought joy to so many and had a wide community of friends and family who are devastated by her sudden passing," read the GoFundMe. "She was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her."
The fundraiser raised 92% of its $300,000 goal as of 7:30 a.m. ET Thursday.
