Question Heard

I heard there was a head on crash between two golf carts in/near the tunnel at Saddlebrook? Did not see it but was told that is what happened?

One medivac came in and another followed roughly 20 minutes later. When the third one came in I was really surprised. We figured maybe they were training to see how quickly they could get to various hospitals from that LZ. We certainly didn't want to think multiple people needed airlifting.

Hoping for speedy and complete recovery for those involved.

.......Am thankful to live in an area where Medi-vac Helicopters are quickly available. Always gives a warm and fuzzy feeling when we are in the Southwest part of the Villages and see the actual bird(s) at the ready.

We were over at Bacall Rec Center yesterday afternoon and noticed the repeated flights of the helicopter. From the color of it I believe it was the medivac located on Powell Road. Judging from the time between trips I would speculate on training flights because there did not seem to be enough time to get to a trauma center and back, unless they have multiple medivacs with the same color scheme.


Now the one that came over the house at 1:20am today literally threw me out of bed. Went to the front yard and saw them land by Colony Rec Center. Spent 20 minutes on ground before taking off and heading to-wards Orlando.
