The owner of
the golf cart, Ronnie L. Gonzales of Peachtree City has been charged with
allowing another person to violate a state law for letting his daughter,
Priscilla Gonzales, 15, drive the golf cart without a license, police
said. Pitts was driving the cart when the crash occurred, just after she
and Gonzales switched places, police said.

but was later released from the hospital and Davis was suffered a cut
to his head, the report stated.
