A male driver that drove a go-kart at night on Tuesday November 18 in Beaumont Texas needed to be rescued after the go-kart fell into a hole on a road that had been closed for about three weeks due to a drainage repair job. Firefighters in Beaumont answered an emergency call from neighbors who saw the accident. The injured male driver may have suffered a broken leg. An ambulance took the injured man to CHRISTUS St. Elizabeth Hospital where he is in stable condition. I just hope that the man who was in the go-kart accident learned his lesson not to drive a go-kart on a dark road. Link is msn.com/en-us/news/cri...

I also hope that the accident victim learned his lesson to drive go-karts at night on a dark road.

Going too fast in a go-kart can cause problems. I hope he learned his lesson too.

It seems he didn't have a lot of sense to drive on a closed road - and at night.

Driving his go-kart on a closed road was not too smart of him either.
