A Reddit user who claimed to be in the viral video described the horror he experienced.
“I’m in this video. I’m the guy who swerved right before the driver hit the golf cart my friend was in,” he said. “16.pearl “He had a hole and someone was doing donuts all over the driving range. I pulled out my phone to try to get a picture of his license plate to submit to his club.”
It quickly went from weird to scary.
“The driver saw me recording him and turned around to try to run me over,” he continued. “All we know at this point is that the driver was caught by the police and we've given our statements. We don't know a motive or anything. It went from 'I'm taking pictures of an idiot' to 'Oh, he's trying to kill me' in about 0.5 seconds.”
