According to publicly available dispatch audio, emergency crews were sent to the Plymouth Country Club on Warren Avenue shortly after 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, August 11, following a report of a golf cart that had rolled over with a person trapped underneath.

During the dispatch, responders were told that a 63-year-old male had tipped over in a golf cart. The incident was initially described as a rollover involving entrapment, indicating that the man was unable to get free from the overturned vehicle without assistance.
The dispatch information later summarized the incident as a 63-year-old man being trapped under the overturned golf cart. Advanced life support medical care was requested as firefighters and medical personnel responded to the country club.
