The bicylist was listed in stable condition at an Orlando hospital.

I guess one never knows what is coming down the cart path towards you!
I just read this Bogey and I was gonna type the whole article. Your summary is much better. The man who was driving the golf cart is 47 and from Oxford? That isn't in The Villages. And the article also states that when he came back on the path and drove over the bicylist lying on the ground that he was "unaware of what he drove over". The cart had to be lifted off of the bicylist who is a villager and is 68 years old.
