This evening about 5:30 PM or so, there were emergency vehicles in the back parking lot of the Lake Miona Rec Center and the cart tunnel under Buena Vista was closed. Anyone know what happened?

It might be -- I did not see any vehicles at street level, but I guess the accident could have been in the tunnel. That tunnel has a sharp right angle turn on the east side.

I was driving by there at that time. I asked the gate attendant at Bailey Trail at Sunset Pointe. He said it was a golf cart accident, tipped over in the tunnel due to excessive speed. Seemed like a lot of EMS and police vehicles for a golf cart roll over.

My husband works at that rec. center. He said a woman was driving through the tunnel. It was slick from the rain. The golf cart flipped. He thought the wall there had something to do with it and maybe not going slow enough.

It was an accident someone got hurt and right away the drinking crap comes out again. Not funny at all. Let's hope they're OK.

Twice in the last month I have had to brake to a stop when almost at the tunnel entrance (going toward Lake Miona rec center) because the other drivers were way left of center coming around the curve exiting the tunnel. I already was going slowly approaching it - thank goodness!
The other drivers did not even appear to have noticed that they were on my side of the roadway, and not just by a couple of inches, but several feet. Had I not stopped, there would have been head on collisions. And this was in the morning both times, don't think there were any drinking issues, just carelessness issues. |

I came through that tunnel yesterday, just after the roll over. Couldn't have been more than a couple minutes after it happened, since there were only a couple folks there trying to help.
It was right at the entrance to the tunnel on the Miona Rec. Center end. It looked as if the cart likely hit the curb and flipped. There was a person still in the cart, lying on the ground, so likely injured to some degree. I have no idea what the contributing factors might have been, but this was right after the rain and it's possible that the pavement [on the hill] was a bit slippery. Looked a single cart accident... |

Never meant to make light of someone getting hurt. Probably not one of my better posts. Sorry.
