But you can rest assured: the child had no visible injuries, as reported by the security forces corporation in a statement to the press.
According to a publication made by CNN USA, Bella jumped into the golf cart seat and somehow managed to trigger the accelerator.
With that, the dog sent the vehicle towards some people who were participating in a festival nearby.
Firefighters moved quickly to try and control the cart, but before it could be stopped, it hit the four-year-old. The vehicle ran over her left leg.
Immediately, paramedics at the scene attended to the little girl and found no visible injuries. Ten minutes after the accident, she was playing again, eating popcorn and completely recovered from her scare. Including, she was very happy in a pogo stick. As a result, her mother refused further treatment, including an emergency room visit.
Bella, the little dog, was “grounded”. According to the Body of Firemen, she will return to the golf cart “with extra precautions”.
Although, in this case, the accident has a picturesque tone because it was caused by a dog, being run over by golf are very common in the United States. Information is from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
According to the organization, more than 6,500 children are hit in the country by golf vehicles per year. More than half of the victims are children aged 12 and under.
