I wouldn't say it is common but people do stay up past 3 am especially if you're a parent. I can think of those people who wake up early to go workout. People who are smoking briskets are usually up at all hours of the night. People who work at hospitals, any type of eatery, pharmacies, grocery stores... the list goes on.
I can only imagine how hard it is to see driving a golf cart at night and if they tried to maneuver out of the way when the Escalade came bustling through. Did they think the Escalade would stop? I'm only speculating that they would seem to be impaired in some way in not realizing that there was an Escalade coming. Whether it's alcohol or they were tired or they just couldn't see are some things that would keep them from making a sound driving judgment.
If the Escalade was coming from over the Towne Lake Pkwy bridge, esp at a high rate of speed, I could see visibility being low, especially with all of the construction barricade stuff and signs up right now. It may have looked like no cars were on the road to them, and they were fine to cross.
And to the drunk thug POS driving, I could see him doing a quick left-right scan, thinking "f it, no one's on these roads" and blowing through the stop sign, not even seeing the golf cart until the split second before he plowed through them.
Who knows though, I am curious and wish there was more detail so I could wrap my brain around it better.
