There is no round about at Meggison and Warm Springs.

You might be thinking of the round about at Warm Springs and Fenney Way. There were two accidents there. Both involved alcohol as well as excessive speed.

That round about is a bit different than most other round abouts in The Villages. The speed limit on Warm Springs is 45 mph and it suddenly changes to 20 mph. There's not a lot of time to slow down. If you're not familiar with the area it would be fairly easy to be speeding when you get to that round about. But you'd also have to be impaired to not realize that you can't go around that round about at 45 mph.
