Multi Car Accident on 441/27 near Main St

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

I drove by there today around 5:00 and there must have been 7 or 8 cars involved on the southbound side just south of the golf car bridge.

Does anyone know what happened?

I don't know what happened, but we saw the accident after-the-fact. We drove our golf cart over to the grassy area near the fence on the northbound lane of 441 just under the golf cart bridge. There must have been about 12 other golf cart gawkers with us.

It looked like it may have been a chain reaction type accident. We counted six vehicles involved. There were two rescue squads transport vehicles and one paramedic truck on site. They blocked off the southbound lane of 441 and directed traffic around the square to avoid the accident. Lady Lake Police Department was directing traffic and assisting with the accident scene.

I saw it too. Looked like chain reaction rear end accident. Some of the cars were messed up bad.

I agree. Somebody must have been going pretty fast. Some of those cars looked pretty bad.

If 441/27 was jammed with snowbirds this wouldn't have happened.
