Don't go-carts go like 5 mile per hour?

Man in go-cart eludes police, causes accident in Grand Junction

'GRAND JUNCTION (AP) - Grand Junction police are looking for a man they say led them on a chase and then caused an accident - while he was driving a go-cart through town.

Police say the man had a boy with him Monday night when officers tried to stop him because he was holding a beer. They say the man then tried to escape by driving around buildings and in and out of alleys.

Police say the man caused an accident when he pulled into the street and made a car swerve and hit something. It wasn't clear what the car hit but it wasn't another vehicle. There were no injuries.

The man then left the boy in the go-cart and took off running. Police think they know who the man is and they're waiting to see if he turns himself in. The suspect's name hasn't been released.

Officers say they found tools in the go-cart they believe were used in burglaries.

The boy - who might be the man's son - is all right.

The man faces several charges, including reckless endangerment, vehicular eluding, child abuse and possession of burglary tools.'
