A 96-year-old Villager said she’s lucky to be alive after her golf cart exploded and caught her house on fire.
Julia Tiedemann was returning from a trip to the postal station at about 5 p.m. Sunday when she pulled into her carport at her home on Aloha Way on the Historic Side of The Villages.
“All of a sudden things started exploding,” she said. “I ran like hell.”
Flames scorched the side of her home. All that remains of her golf cart is a burned-out carcass.
She is grateful to The Villages Public Safety Department for their prompt response.
“They were here before I knew it,” she said.
Yellow tape now marks off the area where the explosion took place. Julia’s car also got caught up in the fire and may be a total loss as well.
“I am lucky to still be here,” she said.
lapdog, whatever site you linked is blocked from this forum so can you spell out the name of the website with spaces in between the letters - or do something else creative - so I can tell what site you posted that from, please?
