He DID NOT get run over by the cart!
The lady should have stopped but possibly did not realize he fell. This whole thing has been blown way out of proportion. The young man was not injured in the fall. In the other on-line news site, it stated he was "sore" after the fall.
This is an example of how stories get changed and embellished.
Of course the lady in the golf cart should have been more aware.
Hopefully she has now realized she was at fault and contacted officials.
I'm sorry that the young man is sore, but it's good to know that he wasn't run over by the golf cart.
