Chachacha, I'm so sorry your friend is still not recovering as expected. You mentioned him to me at dinner at Tierra del Sol when I was doing my LPV so I'm sorry things haven't improved at all. Take good care and I'll keep him in my prayers.

Curious, does anyone have any factual info on the original topic...golf cart accident. So far a lot of pages of nothing specific related to the accident. Just curious so as to avoid and look out for gottcha's or just be more aware of something near that particular tunnel.

Still no mention in today's Daily Sun.

I'm getting a sense, unproven, that the Sun has reduced the amount of coverage of local "bad news" ... accidents, incidents, etc. They used to be pretty good about reporting auto and golf cart accidents and minor crimes.

I am also getting that sense. It would be helpful to know what happened. We might learn from it. Most accidents are the result of a mistake (s) and we learn from mistakes.

So sad to hear of something like this happened. So sorry to hear about John, (Chachacha's friend).

It would be good to know for sure the outcome.

I hope everyone will be all right.

It was a head on accident, sad to say...and experienced Villager was at fault, so many travel into those tunnels using both lanes, and don't think twice about on coming traffic, I heard from cop friend, was bad, the rate of travel into the tunnel was clearly at high speed...slow down people! After all you are retired...where are we going in such a hurry!

It would be helpful to know what happened? Really I do not need to know.Happens everyday, do not need the facts. I understand why the newspaper will cover these thinga,because it happens everyday.Thay would need a full-time writer just for these incidents. I am from Detroit,"no big thing"

I think that the Daily Sun should have a weekly summary of cart incidents just like they have the weekly police blotter.

It might give all Villagers a better understanding of the dangers of reckless cart driving.

Ill tell you one group that is taking notice of all these reckless golf cart accidents.......................The Insurance Companies.Look for fewer companies covering golf carts, and the ones that do, charging much higher premiums.SLOW DOWN and focus on your driving, golf carts are NOT toys.

I'm assuming more police interest lately is due to more accidents.

I think this happens every year when the snowbirds return. It will settle down again with time.

I think you need to add renters, visiters, life style visitors and vacationers to your list.
