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?
An explanation might be "situational awareness". Not everyone has it. And it seems to wither with age.
