For the number of people on the road in and around the Villages, bad accidents like this one are rather rare. Drunken driving, medical problems like strokes, poor eyesight, and bad decisions do play a part in the accidents we have around here too.
What happened with the driver of the white car? Sounds like some preteen on a joyride?? Fortunately that kind of stuff happens very rarely in the Villages because of the limitations on kids living here.
I always drive defensively though whether in a car or golf cart. Even while walking I watch out for carts and or cars that have a driver who might have some kind of medical problem.
The Villages Daily Sun does carry news on bad accidents in or near the Villages. They do not highlight them though like some newspapers. Another poster is right though that you would need other sources to get statistics on golf cart and car accident in or near the Villages. The
Daily Commercial of Leesburg often has this kind of news.
