It's not just like in a car. A car has luminescent white lines to follow, especially helpful at night. The multimodal path doesn't have white lines like that to follow in the dark (I realize this particular accident happened reportedly in daylight). And a car's headlights are more powerful than those on a golf cart.
I've noticed many times when rounding those particular curves in the multimodal path (Stillwater and BV) that the narrow view the lights on the cart provide make it hard to see the curves and curbs in the dark.
Also, I don't think most people realize how much more dangerous it is to hit a curb with the golf cart than with a car. A car doesn't usually flip or roll over when hitting a curb going under 20 mph. And a person is unlikely to get thrown out of a car by hitting a curb at that speed. And the car is unlikely to flip over at that speed.
