The girl, who was not identified, was taken to Dayton Children’s Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

The golf cart was in use as a taxi on the fairgrounds, 800 Sweitzer St. in Greenville, during the fair. It was occupied by the driver and four passengers, who were not hurt in the crash that remains under investigation.
