Default Car/Cart Accident at Tarpon Boil Saturday

Does anyone have any information on the condition of the drivers of the accident yesterday? Did anyone see this and know whether the golf cart driver was seriously injured? I just read the latest article about this accident and I'm quite sure the cart driver was my renter for Jan/Feb. I'm feeling super sick! I have texted his phone. I don't believe I have his wife's cell number. If anyone has any info about this accident, please let me know. I just feel terrible!

Thanks so much for any help you can give me.

With all respect the cart driver's name and address is part of the article in the "other newspaper".

Again, a seat belt would have really helped the cart driver in this accident- when a cart ties with a car--guess who wins ?

The cart driver was playing golf. He was sitting at the road crossing and the driver of the car had a medical problem, ran off the road and hit the stopped cart. Just bad timing. A seatbelt wouldn't have been used since he was just heading to hole 3. Hopefully all will be fine.

It sure looks like the cart was hit in the area of tee number one of Redfish Run. The carts was reported to be off the road and on the cart path. Just an unfortunate accident.

Feel badly for the cart driver. I hope someone posts the particular on this accident because I would like to see if a seat belt really would have been of any benefit in this situation? i have seat belts installed in my cart

I don't think the golf cart driver was where one would normally have a seatbelt on.
