I know we couldn't take a left out of the Odell Rec center because of the incident. That was around 4 PM. Someone said that a golf cart was involved, and that someone died. But I didn't hear if there were more than one vehicle, or other people involved.

Poster linked a site of the forbidden on this site. The site stated it was a golf cart that turned left in front of a vehicle. It appears there was a cart path but to make the left turn the cart had to enter the road shared with vehicles and make the left turn (typically found in the Villages).

Yes, one of many beauties this week.

Is it a violation of the TOS to post links to the forbidden news site? If not, why does it get blocked?

If you're not going to respond, why even mention that you know?

In fact, now that you said this, I want to know what you know, just bc I know you know it.

Went golfing and lunch with one of our friends. She told us the story, was going to Odell to pick up her husband there. Came upon the accident shortly after the crash. She saw the man on the road and parked and got out of her car quickly. There was a small group of people looking at the injured man but NONE of them went to the man to comfort him. She went to him and held his hand, talked to him to comfort him and tell him that help was on the way. They exchanged names. He said he was 82 and had some surgeries recently. I think she said a hip replacement or such and other maladies. She stayed with him until the ambulance came. He told her to tell the crew to be careful placing him on the gurney as he is in pain. I think he asked her to call his wife too.
SHAME on those folks just looking and him from a distance and not going to him. SHAME. If that was me I would have chided those folks royally. grrrrr
