Golf buggies are the primary mode of transport on Hamilton Island, and most are fitted with a capped speed for safety around the holiday destination.

‘We were going up a hill and I turned a corner and it flipped, I wasn’t being reckless,’ Shelby assured fans.

Just hours earlier, Shleby had shared a sizzling mirror selfie and had joked on her Instagram Story that she was ‘coming in hot’ to the Whitsundays. 

Shelby soon after shared distressing footage of her raven-haired friend Chloe strapped into a stretcher in the back of an ambulance.

The free-spirited blonde later joked she had been ‘demoted from driving,’ as a male friend confirmed she was ‘banned’ by the group until further notice.  

However, Shelby later returned to her Instagram Stories to clarify some assumptions made by fans that were incorrect. 

‘Just thought I would confirm with everyone, because I’ve had heaps of messages… I was not intoxicated whilst I rolled the buggy. I blew zero, they breath-tested me.’ 

The accident didn’t appear to dampen the group’s moods, as they partied until the early hour of the morning together to ring in 2021.
