My wife went to the children and I went the father who had some serious head injuries. the seat belt on the left side was buckled behind the father and his daughter as there were only two seat belts and three people in the seat, so when the cart hit the curb the father was ejected and the cart continued about 30 to 40 feet and hit the end of the tunnel with the two right wheels up on the dirt straddling the curb on the south bound side of the cart trail. One child was injured the one in the belted child seat was not . Both the father and his beautiful little girl were transported to the hospital. Oh in case you are wondering I am a retired Major accident investigator
Sounds like speed and inexperience were factors.
