The family of a little girl killed in a go-kart crash has obtained an attorney. Thomas Hasty with the law firm Morgan and Morgan blames the accident at Urban Air Adventure Park in Port St. Lucie on a go-kart malfunction. <\/p>\n
In a statement, the lawyer says the kart surged forward at a high speed without the mother of 6-year-old Emma Riddle hitting the gas pedal. <\/p>\n
Emma’s father Steve spoke publicly for the first time, at the girl’s funeral.<\/p>\n
“I just don’t know what to say except that this was unfortunate and didn’t have to happen. And that’s all I would like to say on that. And that is the only comment I’ll make.”<\/p>\n
Hasty also says the seatbelt on the go-kart was locked and inoperable, but the operator of the ride still allowed the mother and daughter to ride. <\/p>\n
The attorney calls Emma a “beautiful girl with a bright future and so much love left to give.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The family of a little girl killed in a go-kart crash has obtained an attorney.
