Family of go-cart rider allegedly struck by neighbor's Jeep wants charges
PEARLAND, Texas—A collision between a Jeep and a go-cart in Brazoria County has sparked a race debate that’s initiated a flood of phone calls and e-mails from across the country.
But while people on the outside are debating race, those close to what happened are shutting down that argument. Still, they have a problem with what’s occurred.
"Race is not an issue, what is an issue is right and wrong," said Brazoria County father Jules Moor.
Moor has filed a lawsuit against the woman who investigators say drove her Jeep Wrangler into his 13-year-old son’s go-cart on March 13, 2012, as he was riding in the 2600 block of Lakecrest Drive, where he lives.
His son was rushed to the hospital with head and neck injuries.
"I don’t think, I know for a fact that she intentionally did it," said Moor. "She left from the northbound lane, crossed over into the southbound lane, jumped the curb and hit my son head on in his go-cart."

In the world of sports cars it’s a magical number, the barrier between mere excellence and exaltation.
A measurement of traction and cornering ability, the figure means that the lateral or longitudinal forces being created by a car as it travels through a turn or decelerates are equal to those pulling it toward the center of the Earth.
In other words: If your seat disappeared in the middle of a corner, you could theoretically stick to the door without falling onto the floor.
After a brisk run through some sweeping curves in the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S, followed by hard stab at the brakes, I was impressed to see by the onboard performance computer that I’d cracked the mark both side to side and to the front.
Even more so when I got out of the car.
That’s when I noticed the flakes embedded in to the sidewall of the Michelins. I’d forgotten that the car was wearing snow tires. The mind reels thinking what it could do on summer rubber.
