"Run over" implies wheels over the body. The cart clipped the bike causing him to lose balance and fall. Should she stop? Of course! Was she careless? Yes!
Felony hit and run with injuries? Overblown, in my opinion. Maybe some kind of misdemeanor and an apology to the biker. I am betting she did not realize the biker fell.

Golf cart lanes are usually indicated by the white line approx. 3 or 4 ft from the curb on many of our roads.

I think you're right about the 3 foot rule. In the case of a bike/cart lane, it is not possible for both a cart and a bike to safely ride side-by-side within the lane and maintain a 3 foot buffer. Therefore, when passing, the cart or bike should pass on the left outside the lane, when safe to do so.

One thing for sure. That woman better get a good lawyer. Police chief Chris Mc kinstry said" it's a felony hit- and-run with injuries."
