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.
No such thing as a golf cart lane. Well, I guess unless you are on a golf course. I would imagine that a cart has to give 3 feet of clearance when passion a bike just like a car does. But, who knows I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.
