The Haysville Times
By Angie Gumm
Haysville’s Go-Cart Track and Miniature Golf Course has closed its doors to the public after an accident on Monday.
A 13-year-old girl drove a go-cart into a parked RV at the Broadway-based business.
An ambulance came to take the girl to the hospital, where she received stitches.
The girl’s aunt said her niece cut her leg to the bone. She also said the girl was driving the go-cart without wearing a helmet or having a signed parental consent form.
This was the second time the girl had driven at the park but her first time on their bigger track. The girl’s parents knew she was going go-carting.
The owners of the business blamed the accident on the child’s driving and said that the go-carts and both tracks are safe. “She drove straight into [the RV] and made no attempt to brake,” said one of the owners.
The business opened last October, and this was its first accident. The owners said the go-cart tracks and the mini-golf course would only be for private use from now on.
