A car went through this wall in the Village of St. James on Wednesday afternoon.
A female driver was injured after her car plowed through a residential wall at about 3 p.m. today in the Village of St. James.
She was airlifted from the scene for medical treatment.

The woman’s car went through the wall at Fairwind Villas and wound up on St. Charles Place, according to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office. Debris from the wall struck another vehicle and a person in that vehicle was injured.

The investigation has been turned over to the Florida Highway Patrol
Traffic was backed up in the area for most of the rest of the afternoon.
Community Watch was on the scene in the aftermath of the accident.

Meta is sure on top of everything.

I looked at the photo on ************** and the wall was completely broken through. That car must have been going very fast in order to do that damage as well as to send wall debris flying with enough force to damage another car and a person in the second car.

I agree that the woman in the first car must have had a sudden medical emergency and her foot stomped on the accelerator. Hard to imagine but I can see how it could happen. Let's hope she recovers quickly and completely.

She probably has a police scanner.

I hope the woman involved in the accident is going to be back to good health soon.

Saw the wall and it is completely demolished. Some medically related had to happen

I was driving on St. Charles when this happened and if I were two or three seconds slower I would have been hit with the exploding wall. It sounded like a bomb when the car went through the wall and the pieces flew across the road and hit the car going in the other direction. Thank God a golf cart wasn't going by at that time! The air bags in the other car were deployed and the ladies were standing outside of the car afterwards. They both were okay but one of the women said she thought she just had a broken finger. The women who went through the wall was pulled out of her car by several wonderful gentlemen who ran to her aid. She seemed seriously injured even though both air bags deployed. I can't imagine how fast the car was going when it went through the wall. I'm still shocked at what I heard and saw. All I remember was the loud boom and large and small stones flying all over the road. I do hope she will be okay.

Someone I know that lives by there talked to the Police and they said the preliminary investigation indicates a suicide attempt.Prayers are with all involved.:pray:

Oh dear. That is so sad.

That seems odd that the police would tell a stranger that right after it happened.

Exactly!!

Crashing into a tree would have been more effective (suicide-wise) than going through a wall.

I know Bosoxfan to be a credible and reasonable poster.

No matter the cause, how sad. It always surprises me what we don't know about our neighbor's lives and troubles. The wall is the least of the damage here.
