A Wellington car accident that left a man dead sent shock waves throughout the Polo community. The incident took place Friday, February 12, 2010, at the intersection of 120th Avenue South and Lake Worth Drive.
According to investigators, John B. Goodman, millionaire and founder of the International Polo Club Palm Beach, was driving a Bentley when he ran a stop sign and slammed into a Hyundai. The force of the impact sent the Hyundai into a canal killing the driver, Scott Wilson, 23, of Wellington.
Goodman had just left a local restaurant and investigators believe that he had been drinking prior to the accident. They are currently awaiting toxicology reports to confirm if he was driving under the influence of alcohol or another substance.
Wilson had recently graduated from the University of Central Florida and was about to take a job as a mechanical engineer.
“He was just the most amazing son,” said Wilson’s mother, Lili Wilson.
The fatal Wellington auto accident is still under investigation by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, which has not yet handed the case over to the State Attorney’s Office.
It is always tragic to lose a loved one in a traffic accident. We extend our condolences to Mr. Wilson’s family and friends.
