SPRING TWP., Pa. — A father-son golf outing turned tragic in Berks County earlier this week.
A falling tree limb struck a man as he sat in a golf cart at Manor Golf Course in Spring Township on Monday, according to Coroner John Fielding III.
Fielding said the victim, Christopher Ritter, 43, of Bethel Township, died of a head injury. His death was ruled an accident.
Ritter was golfing with his father, who reported hearing a large cracking sound prior to his son being struck, Fielding said.
