“More terrifying than I could explain” – Eye-witness on US Open cart crash

An eye-witness to the US Open cart crash that hospitalised two people and injured several more has told bunkered of the “terrifying” incident.

According to reports in the US, a vendor was using a golf cart to deliver boxes.

The vendor briefly parked and left the cart, around which time a box fell onto the accelerator of the vehicle. Eye-witnesses reported seeing it take off “at full speed”, hitting the vendor as well as four others before it was brought under control.
