Two younger siblings were killed on Friday after a man visited a miniature golf course in Panama City Beach, Florida.

Authorities identified the driver as Scott Donaldson, who allegedly drove his 2007 Chevrolet Silverado on the Coconut Creek Golf and Maze, according to Panama City Beach Police. Two unidentified children, a 4-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl, were beaten while playing mini golf with their family.

One died at the scene of the accident and the other died at a nearby hospital.

The siblings were part of a visiting family from Louisville, Kentucky, a city spokeswoman told The Associated Press.

The Coconut Creek Golf Course and Maze was closed on Saturday, according to a Facebook post that included a bible verse about grief.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted,” wrote the case.

The Panama City Beach Police Homicide Unit is investigating the cause of the crash.

“This is a tragic event and our hearts and prayers are with the family,” PCBPD spokesperson Debbie Ward said in a statement. “We have had bereavement counselors and clergy with the family since this happened.”
