Autoweek - Motorcycle racer Malcolm Smith injured in crash

Champion motorcyclist Malcolm Smith is recovering at home after breaking a hip in a golf cart accident in Death Valley. Smith was in a charity golf tournament at Furnace Creek Golf Course in Death Valley with his friend Greg Lang when the accident happened January 25.

“(Smith) walked behind the golf cart being operated by Lang, who thought the golf cart was in drive, but was actually in reverse,” read a story on the website www.kibskbov.com yesterday. “Lang accelerated the rearward moving cart and struck Smith, which subsequently knocked him to the ground.”
