So sorry to hear, this shouldn't of happened. Did you see the photo of the street where she got hit. Did you see the curve. Golf carts have blind spots and glare for sun, that's why you don't walk with flow of traffic in the street AND ESPECIALLY three abreast yanking and NOT aware of your surroundings. Even if you are right by regulations, don't be dead right by not be attentive able to jump out of the way in case vehicle driver don't see you. Even if they do that don't mean their going to stop in time. IMO Of the rules on walking where sidewalks are available She was breaking regulations walking in street with flow of traffic when side walk was available. Nothing going to make it right for her.

I don't think the golf cart driver seen her, otherwise they would of stopped? You can bit$h all you want about golf carts in this golf cart community. there not going away or the dangers that come when vehicles, walkers, bicycling, and any other form of transportation collides. Only you can try to stay safe

Such damn shame people's have to die when it could of been prevented. Yes, by both parties involved.
