No one had the chance to react, the only thing that being high season was there were people there to try and help the victims.
This is not true. From all the articles I have read, there was a driver in a golf cart just ahead of the two women who were killed who veered left to avoid being hit by the out of control car. In fact, the passenger side view mirror of his cart was torn off by the car.

The driver of the cart who avoided being hit was quoted as saying he heard the car coming behind him. The two women who were killed, were in the cart ahead of him also going east on the cart path. Just wondering why the guy heard the vehicle behind him but from what I have read, the two women did not react as though they heard the car coming up behind them?
