Five people were injured and two were hospitalized during Friday's second round of the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach when a golf cart rolled into spectators, according to Golfweek's Bill Speros.
"At around 10:20 a.m. local time, a vendor was delivering several boxes in a golf cart near a concession stand on No. 16 at Pebble Beach. As the vendor got out of the cart, one of the boxes fell onto the accelerator, causing the golf cart to start moving, according to eyewitnesses.
"'We were standing in the concession line on the 16th hole when all of a sudden there was a runaway cart and one guy running after it, then a bunch of people running after it,' Georgie Salant told GOLF.com. She was standing by the concessions at the time. 'It was actually coming straight for the concession line and then it turned, just on its own, and it didn’t stop! It started driving in circles. It ran over like, five people.'"
