Villager John Bibas was having coffee with friends shortly after 3 p.m. Sunday in the patio area of Dunkin Donuts when a black SUV suddenly plunged into the crowd.
He escaped relatively uninjured, but at least two of his friends weren’t so lucky.
“It was unreal,” Bibas said of the incident at the popular coffee spot at Spanish Springs Town Square.
His friend John Oliveri , 72, suffered leg fractures and head injuries and is a patient at The Villages Regional Hospital.
In all, three people were transported from the scene. Others reported some additional injuries.
Bibas’ friend Donna Prue, 53, who is at the Blue Parrot campground, also suffered injuries to her legs after being pinned in between the tables and chairs.
The driver, 66-year-old Patrick J. Welch of Lady Lake, was cited by Lady Lake Police with careless driving.
According to a preliminary accident report, Welch’s vehicle had been traveling at a speed of 20 mph. The posted speed limit in that area is 25 mph, according to the report.
Bibas, who works part-time for the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, said Welch appeared dazed and confused.
“He was only wearing socks,” Bibas said. “No shoes.”
Kristin Stanek and John Roman of Lady Lake had finished eating at Athens NY restaurant and were on their way down the street.
“All of a sudden we heard all of the sirens,” said Stanek.
Donna Prue and John Bibas were outside at Dunkin Donuts Sunday afternoon.
