Anotehr golf cart accident yesterday - Morse and San Marino
Jim and I witnessed a horrifying accident at the corner of Morse and San Marino. The cart hit the curbing, flew into the air, landed on its side, and the driver's foot was trapped. No passengers, than God! The cart was gas and the gas was leaking.
Fortunately Jim and a few others who were there quickly were able to turn off the ignition and free the man by lifting the cart while I called 911. He was seriously injured (at the least a compound ankle fracture - he looked as if he might be having an MCI/stroke due to his color and erratic breathing.) and the helicopter was called.
911 in TV was immediately responsive - ambulance was there in a few minutes - although to the injured man, I sure it felt like hours.
