I have wondered that too. I suspect because TOTV is a private website and the other site competes with the sunny side of this site? Funny, to get actual news you have to go to the dark side.

I am not going to pretend that I know the circumstances of this particular accident. That being said, I will say that I have noticed more and more drivers of golf carts thinking they have the right of way over automobiles. Many of them, oblivious to conditions on the road. Each time I enter a gate I have to be extremely careful because so many golf cart drivers seem to think they have the right away and they drive right in front of vehicles entering the gates.

Are you saying it was NOT the golf cart driver's fault?

You mean "by the golf cart", right?

not going to respond as he deserves his privacy.
Looks like you just told us he was at fault. If we don’t know names, privacy intact.

She went to him and held his hand, talked to him to comfort him and tell him that help was on the way. They exchanged names. He said he was 82 and had some surgeries recently. I think she said a hip replacement or such and other maladies. She stayed with him until the ambulance came. He told her to tell the crew to be careful placing him on the gurney as he is in pain. I think he asked her to call his wife too.
SHAME on those folks just looking and him from a distance and not going to him. SHAME. If that was me I would have chided those folks royally. grrrrr
