Before my retirement I had worked almost 30 years at a hospital that was a trauma center and I can tell you trauma centers and all the professionals working in trauma centers are better trained to handle accidents like this and all other trauma accidents for that matter. When we moved here I was pretty surprised when I learned that there is no trauma center close by.
Why isn’t there a trauma center nearby?
IMHO we need one in this area.

I wouldn't bet that no one thought of transporting him to the nearest trauma center. Not being familiar with the protocols involved or the condition of the man when the EMTs arrived, I would assume he received the best possible care. If he was not transported to a trauma center there was likely a reason.
It appears there are trauma centers in Tampa, Orlando, Ocala, Gainesville, and possibly a few in Lake County.
