I would ALWAYS call 911 when there is an accident, injury, DUI etc. they will steer you in right direction and you will have documented that you addressed issue. Also, I would take photo of cart and driver if on multi modal in case they take off.



Hopefully you weren’t hit hard enough to be injured.
Wrong. Husband in his golf cart was hit head on by another cart on MMP. Guy swerved into husband’s side of the path after rounding a curve. Police called and responded and said they had no jurisdiction on MMPs. This was last year.
