The Corona community is reeling after a beloved 17-year-old was killed in a tragic golf cart crash over the weekend.
Family of Adam Nemat says that it was an innocent evening with friends that took a turn for the worst and changed their lives forever, as their son was getting ready to graduate from Santiago High School in just a few months.
The Nemat home is filled with flowers, all gestures of sympathy from those offering the family their condolences after the disaster.
“I wanna send Adam a text and say, ‘Hey, look at what people are saying about you,'” said the teen’s mother, Mona. “But, they’re saying it because he’s not here. And I can’t tell him.”
While they’re still not entirely sure of the circumstances that led up to their son’s death, they do know that it happened in a freak accident while he and four other friends were riding a golf cart.
“We know that Adam was on the passenger side in the front. The individual that was driving apparently took a really hard turn for whatever reason,” she said. “I don’t know if he was messing around, I don’t know if there was something he was trying to avoid hitting, but the force of that turn caused the golf cart to flip onto him and he passed instantly.”
