Never leave the power switch on when parking.
The collision occurred at 10:15 a.m. on the 16th Fairway of the Pebble Beach Golf Links when a vendor was making deliveries on a cart loaded with boxes while the course was packed with tens of thousands of spectators.
“The vendor parked and walked away from the golf cart,” Madueño said, at which point a box on the front seat tumbled onto the floor, landing on the accelerator.
Unoccupied and out of control, the cart traveled straight for a stretch and then turned, striking several people.
