Man Dies After Being Ejected from Shopping Cart
An 18-year-old man was killed late Saturday night after riding in a shopping cart while holding onto a moving SUV, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
At about 11:28 p.m., Cameron Bieberle was sitting in a shopping cart in the parking lot of the University Walk Apartments near University Boulevard and Forsyth Road while hanging on to a Cadillac Escalade being driven by his friend, Michael Smith, 23, of Orlando.
The car and the shopping cart went over a speed bump and the cart overturned, ejecting Bieberle onto the ground. Bieberle was pronounced dead at the scene. Smith and a passenger in the car, Shaun Kirylczuk, 17, of Orlando, were not injured
Charges are pending against Smith, the FHP said.
I don’t see where the driver is any more culpable than the person riding in the cart who was hanging onto the SUV. I suppose there is a lesson there somewhere about wearing a helmet when engaging in activities when one’s head may interact with the pavement.
