The cart may not have been moving anywhere near 20mph.
Accidents happen. Mistakes are made. We all make them.

That incident was frightening because I could imagine it happening to me. I walk Hillsborough in the morning and I know the sun can be blinding at spots. I can imagine being able to see just enough to notice an oncoming car and wait for it before attempting to turn. I would not anticipate a bicycle being close behind that car and I would not be able to see it in the sun. I can imagine making that same turn.
