Hahahahaha!

Seems to be not much more than a fender bender. Both cars pulled off to the side, glass and plastic isn't all over the place yet there's an EMT truck, police car and what appears to be the front bumper of a large pumper truck.
I sure hope they have it all under control.

Just read a vehicle flipped at the roundabout at Palmers.
“ A driver was taken by ambulance to UF Health The Villages Hospital after a vehicle flipped Friday morning in a roundabout”

Yeah, that picture is on my other “Burns” Vista post. I need to turn off my spellcheck!

Do you know that our Sumter County police do NOT give out speeding tickets? I heard it first hand from a police office quit because of they were instructed by the developer NOT to do speed checks or give ANY SPEEDING TICKETS. Buena Vista, Morris, 466, etc are speedways. We better wake up and look at what our government is doing ...they could care less about our safety. Just keep our hands in our pockets and keep smiling. Remember strength in numbers!

I know of a few people that have been given speeding tickets. Two of them were in golf carts.

greenflash245 06-20-2020 06:43 AM

it takes a lo of speed to flip a vehicle. don't you think?

bilcon 06-20-2020 06:54 AM

Don't know we're you get your info from about Sheriff's not giving speeding tickets. That is totally incorrect. I know someone that got a ticket in TV. Not me.

Twoprecise 06-20-2020 07:04 AM

Sad to say that is not true. I received a speeding ticket on Buena Vista coming south right before the roundabout past Arnold Palmer.

Bill1701 06-20-2020 07:16 AM

First of all, Sumter County has sheriff's deputies, not police. Second, yes they do give out tickets for speeding.

The information in this post is completely and absolutely incorrect.

The developer has no power over the several law enforcement agencies that police the areas in The Villages; Sumter County Sheriff, Lady Lake Police. Fruitland Park Police, Wildwood Police, Marion County Sheriff.

That explains alot. I did see a police car checking speed on Morse, but that was the only one I’ve seen and that was several years ago. I’ve seen a handful of golf cart speed checks and carts getting pulled over, but not very recently. We live in Charlotte and the worst offenders are the vendors on Hillsborough. Some of those monster trucks pulling trailers go through there at what seems like 40+mph. Not very safe to allow that.
