UTM golf cart involved in traffic accident

A UTM golf cart was involved in a traffic accident Monday morning. Kristina Springer was driving the cart over the cross walk in front of the field house when a red Pontiac Sunfire, driven by Kevin Frazier, collided with the cart, police said.


Frazier told police that a gray truck passed through the crosswalk before him and as he began to drive through it the golf cart pulled out in front of him.


Springer told police that after being hit, she was pushed down the street by Frazier's car.


Frazier was cited for failure to yield.

Weakley County EMS arrived and began treating Springer, who later asked to be transported to Student Health where she received further treatment. Springer told police that her only injury was a sprained finger.
