I agree that it seems odd but less than a year ago there was a suicide scene I came across where the police told me that the guy committed suicide .

The air bags in the other car were deployed and the ladies were standing outside of the car afterwards. They both were okay but one of the women said she thought she just had a broken finger. The women who went through the wall was pulled out of her car by several wonderful gentlemen who ran to her aid. She seemed seriously injured even though both air bags deployed. I can't imagine how fast the car was going when it went through the wall. I'm still shocked at what I heard and saw. All I remember was the loud boom and large and small stones flying all over the road. I do hope she will be okay.

I am so glad you weren't hurt. Whew!! Such a frightening experience and to see it all happening in front of you.

How can we speculate on a method of attempting suicide? Someone doesn't always preplan that, its spontaneous, I would guess. For whatever, I hope the woman survives and gets some psychological help.

Maybe if it already happened, that might be different. It just seemed like with it being an observation, an officer shouldn't have made that statement.

Drove by the site this am in my golf cart on the way to Sea Breeze. Maintenance crews had already cleaned up all remaining debris and concrete block down to the foundation. In preparation for rebuilding the wall. Fast work! Wouldn't want any prospective buyers driving by and asking questions.
This area usually has heavy golf cart traffic with 2 rec centers and 4 executive golf courses in the immediate vicinity. Fortunate that none were passing by when the driver blew thru the block wall and ended up in the street. They wouldn't have stood a chance.

Reports today said the driver was emotional. That was no accident or medical issue.

Zoner. I would guess that all of the rest of the remaining properties to be sold up to buildout will not need any huge effort on the part of anyone to sell.

Yesterday, I had just finished up my half mile swim at St. James pool when I heard the ambulance. I looked across the way and the sheriff was directing the ambulance down to the center of the golf course area across from Edenville Path. Then I heard the helicopter circling the area and the sheriff's patrol directed him where to land. They are a well- oiled machine! I sent a text to my friend who works for Community Watch and he told me what had happened. Soooo sad!

You are right, Gracie. This morning I was listening to WBEN Buffalo radio . They were talking about the fastest growing areas in the country. They said latest statistics showed that the fastest growing area in the USA is The Villages, FL with a 5.2% population increase in 2012-2013. It sure made me happy to hear that. :)

The two photo's of the Nissan Rogue, was the car that drove through the wall, which had Texas tags. The other photo is the car which got hit by flying debris.
Just hoping they are all home and recovering by now.

Assume you just forgot to put the smiley after that statement. Or...............

zonerboy 03-27-2014 09:22 PM

That seems like a very strange and unlikely choice for a suicide attempt.

No it's not, I know someone (a relative)who committed suicide this way. When people are determined to commit suicide they will go to horrible lengths to end their lives. I was told by a doctor who has therapy groups for the loved ones of suicide victims that the age groups that are increasing in numbers of suicide are senior citizens and children.

No matter what the reason is for this accident to have happened, it is sad -- very sad.

This lady will need some emotional help after the physical injuries have healed.

And sometimes it is a cry for help and not an attempt at suicide! Prayers for all and especially for the woman who is suffering so emotionally.
