Elway being an alcoholic has been an open secret since Dan Reeves was coaching him.

Elway’s dad, Jack Elway coached at San Jose State and Stanford. He was arrested for DUI while an active coach.

I’ll never understand the fascination people have with carts.
On the weekends in the summer, city club in Lafayette looks like a Mississippi deer camp with all the golf carts and side by sides parked in the grass.

He was sitting on the tailgate. As the truck made its way back to the apartment it hit a speed bump.
The guy fell off and hit his head on the pavement
If I had to guess I'd say this is what happened in this situation. Facing backwards, hit a bump and the back of his head whiplashed into the ground.

Seems to vary by location. Rules for golf carts here (no mention of seatbelts):
quote:
The golf cart must be insured, permitted, and registered with SCDMV using the following link: LINK
The golf cart must remain within 4 miles of the address listed on the registration certificate.
The golf cart may be operated only on a secondary highway or street for which the posted speed limit is 35 mph or less.
The golf cart may be operated during daylight hours only.
The driver must be at least 16 years old with a valid driver’s license.
Low speed vehicles have more features and can be driven farther and later.

They said he fell off and hit head first. I never knew whether it was front or back. I do know he sat up, and then threw up. Then he immediately lost consciousness.

Damn RIP.
I fell off a golf cart when I was maybe 12 years old or so, brother's GF was flying and went too fast around a corner and I went flying out. Luckily I landed on my elbows and skinned them clean but that was it.

Civil suit is about to hurt for Elway, but not nearly as bad as the guilt.

I can’t find what the hell happened between the accident and the death? Did they not call an ambulance?

A low speed vehicle is just a golf cart that has been made street legal. Street legal is lights, seat belts, governor (speed limited to between 20-25mph (has to go over 20 but under 25)), mirrors, etc.
Some communities allow non street legal carts on the roads. But more and more require them to be street legal which requires registration and therefore insurance.

Yup, I'm aware of all of that. Just saying that you can drive a golf cart on the streets here, legally, and it doesn't have to have a seatbelt, as was previously suggested.

Not in my neighborhood. All we need is the orange triangle.

Gated neighborhood by chance? If so, the "street legal" rules don't apply since its private roads. HOA basically sets the rules in a gated subdivision.
But if you're riding on public roads, you need to have seatbelts, rear view mirrors, turn signals, brake lights, headlights, and a speedometer to be street legal. And it needs to be registered and have liability insurance just like a regular car. They're considered "low speed vehicles" to be street legal. At least that's how it is in Louisiana and Florida.
ETA: maybe I'm partially wrong. LA requires all of the other equipment I listed, but I don't see seat belt on the LA last. Florida's requirements do list seatbelts for every seat though.
