In a bizarre echo of the Lizzie Grubman fiasco, a golf cart fashioned to resemble the publicist’s infamous black Mercedes Benz SUV by the North Sea Fire Department for Southampton Village’s Fourth of July Parade struck and injured an 8-year-old boy on Friday.According to Mr. Siben, the golf cart—painted black and dragging a mock corpse behind it—careened wildly along the parade route throughout the day, possibly as part of the satirical performance.
The golf cart, Mr. Siben said, ... reversed its course and hit the boy with its front end as it headed northbound.
