The motorsports park where Brooke Carlton died is closing

A California motorsports park where a 9-year-old girl died in a “freak accident” earlier this year has been permanently closed amid a legal dispute over her death.

Little star Brooke Carlton suffered fatal injuries while riding at Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park in Lake Elsinore in June after a child on another bike collided with her.

The park was sued after the tragedy and eventually closed when the property owner involved in the litigation evicted them from the land, the park said on social media.

“The property owner has terminated our agreement as they are also included in the lawsuit,” the park said in a Facebook post.

“It would be in their best interest to close the route. I can’t say because I blame them,” the post continued.

The park owners said both the landlord and the council were “good to deal with” following the tragic accident that claimed the life of young Brooke.

The girl was thrown from her bike and left unconscious on the ground after colliding with another child rider, police said.

Good Samaritans performed CPR on her until paramedics took her to a hospital, where she died.

The other driver escaped with only minor injuries.

“We are really sad about the situation. “This was such a freak accident as the parents said,” Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park said in an Instagram post after Carlton’s death.

“This is not a time to denigrate the track, but a time to remember this little girl and support her family. We are a community and will also do our part to support the family.”

Brooke was an ambassador for motorsports clothing brand Go Fast Girls and loved “being on the track, competing with other girls and driving fast,” according to her profile on their website.

“For those who REALLY knew Brooke, she was a total hothead who knew what she wanted and there was no way around it,” family friend Ally Giles wrote in the description of a GoFundMe fundraiser to support her family .
