A Disneyland Resort employee dies after a golf cart accident

A Disneyland Resort employee has died after an accident left her “in serious condition” on Wednesday, according to authorities.

Anaheim police and Anaheim Fire and Rescue responded to the Southern California resort just before 11:30 a.m. “regarding a traffic accident that occurred backstage,” spokesman Jonathan McClintock told NBC News.

“Upon arrival, police and fire personnel discovered that a female, a Disneyland employee, fell from a moving golf cart and struck her head,” McClintock said.

The woman, whom Disneyland identified as Bonnye, was taken to a hospital where she died two days later, McClintock said.

Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock issued a statement Saturday saying its focus is on supporting its family and staff members “through this tragic event.”

“We are heartbroken by the loss of Bonnye and extend our sincere condolences to all who cared for her,” Potrock said.

Anaheim Police Department traffic detectives are investigating the traffic collision that led to the woman’s death.
