I am Not saying this is what happened, but questioning the lack of information published makes U wonder. And the driver had passenger beside him. My prayers go out to the victims. They seemed like lovely ladies.





The sheriff's report said it was a medical episode.


The media can only report what they know and do report what they know. The media publish everything else with mugshots. I don't know why someone on drugs causing a fatal accident would be exempt.


I am not sure why you think "The Villages" was involved. They may have once owned the newspaper directly, and sold it to a friend, but Meta isn't owned by ANYONE. "They" publish just about everything that is public knowledge. Even suicides, which the paper does not publish.


The First Amendment is alive and well in The Villages.

All this discussion has turned away from the awful fact that two are dead and two people have injuries and I am sure are suffering.
