PROVO, Utah — A man suffered fatal injuries while driving a go-kart on a street in Provo Tuesday night.
Wednesday the deceased was identified as 46-year-old Chad Norton.
Sgt. Nisha King with Provo Police said officers responded to the area of 750 South Meadow Drive around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday after Norton crashed while operating a self-made go-kart.
Police say Norton was driving southbound on Meadow Drive when he hit a speed bump, lost control of the vehicle and impacted a concrete curb.
Norton was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.
There were no other vehicles involved and no reports of further injuries beyond the fatality.
Investigators did not find a helmet or a seat belt in the wreckage of the vehicle, and King said go-karts are not allowed on the streets of Provo.
