The horror happened on the 600 block of Maid Marion Hill in Annapolis, close to the private club’s golf course.
Blasetti was a passenger in the buggy that hit or jostled a bump as it traveled from one surface to another, police said.
She then fell or was thrown out and suffered the injuries from which she would eventually succumb, a preliminary investigation revealed.
The golf cart was driven by an unidentified 32-year-old woman from Crownsville.
Police are not releasing their information pending an ongoing investigation, Anne Arundel County police spokesman Marc Limansky said.
“It’s incredibly sad,” he added. ‘When the police arrived, the fire brigade was already on site.
“She suffered an injury and was flown to the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center.
“Even though it was a gold car, it’s still classified as a vehicle. The Road Safety Department is actively investigating the collision.’
