A resident of The Villages has died after a fall from a golf cart.

David H. Tillman, 70, was a passenger in a cart being driven by 65-year-old Charles J. Haines on Saturday night, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

As Haines drove the cart through a roundabout at about 8:30 p.m., Tillman fell out and struck the curb, FHP said.

Tillman was taken to The Villages Medical Center, where he died of his injuries.

The incident happened at Buena Vista Boulevard and El Camino Real, in the Sumter County portion of the sprawling retirement community.
A quick turn to avoid a problem can be a problem for a passenger since they are not holding on to the steering wheel. Maybe we should get and use seat belts?
