What's up on 466A?
 

Driving home at 7:15 from Leesburg on 466A. We were turned back to Canal, couldn't go to Buena Vista. 2 police cars blocking road. Was there an accident? Does anyone know what happened?

not sure, just went by on my golf cart and looks like there are 3 or 4 cars with people in them near where the police and fire rescue cars are and a motorcycle and a car parked closer to BV but none of them looked like they had any damage like there had been an accident.

Accident on 466A
 

We passed by before any emergency responders were there. There was a young man lying motionless and bleeding alongside the street. Another younger man was with him. There was a motorcycle that had continued on by itself for a long, long way and was lying on its side on the edge of the golf course. There was another motorcycle parked next to the curb. There was quite a lot of debris on the street and along the path of the motorcycle. There was one other vehicle stopped on the street but it wasn't possible to tell if it had been involved or not. There were quite a lot of golf carts/people at the scene and a bystander was directing traffic on 466A. I've been praying for the young man ever since.

Coming home on golf cart trail in front of Sumter Place. We were blocked from entering the tunnel and told it was a hit and run fatality.

Around 10:15 the Medical Examiner arrived. Looks like he was getting a large plastic bag out. Not looking good.

Just saw this:The Florida Highway Patrol is seeking a black Pontiac G5 that struck and killed a motorcyclist at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of CR466A and Buena Vista Boulevard.

more information ->

The driver of the Pontiac then fled the scene of the accident.

FHP Troopers are searching for a white male driving a black Pontiac GT or G6, model year possibly 2005-2010. The vehicle will have damage to the passenger side and the passenger side outside mirror was broken off and recovered at the scene of the crash. Anyone with information concerning this accident is asked to contact the FHP by calling 813-631-4020 or Crime Stoppers

How very sad and upsetting. Twice yesterday we were cut off by someone too much in a hurry to wait their turn and now this!

In ..... We used to have signs saying, go s l o w...our children are playing here. We need signs that say grandparents are playing here...as some take just a little more time and don't need some impatient narcissism fool thinking they own the road.

I feel so sorry for the friends and family of this motor cyclist.

One can only hope they find the driver of the Pontiac. Sadly the punishment never fits the crime in these cases.

My heart breaks for his family. He was only 24, I read. How very sad.

Hope people will post any further developments on this.

It was not on Miller. It was on 466A and it was east of Buena Vista heading westbound near Turtlemound golf course and the assisted living place on 466A.

466A is also called Miller.

Also Cleveland Avenue when approaching Wildwood.
