I've worked hundred's of vehicle accidents; turning in front of someone is just "head up your butt" inattention.

I am sorry that gentleman got hurt.
I seen it happen and the cart made a left hand turn in front of the SUV. The SUV wasn't going more then 10 to 15 mpg. the SUV didn't have time to even hit the brakes. the cart flew sideways in the air about 10 feet on to the sidewalk (only about 6 inches off the ground) and the guy got ejected the other way.
Very said and i hope he is OK. It made me think if he had a seat belts it may have helped if he stayed with the cart. But if the cart goes upside down then the seat belt would of not helped him.
People i don't ever want to witness something like that again.
If you are in a Golf cart you don't have the right of way and even if you think you do, don't play chicken with a vehicle 5 times the weight of your cart and that can go much faster. PLEASE be careful.
He will be in my prayers and i hope for his speedy recovery
