Didn't know these were young kids.....where did you read that?

Where did you read she said they were young kids? She did not say those involved in the accident were young kids. She was merely pointing out another disturbing reality that goes on in The Villages with young kids driving golf carts

I didn't mean to imply this accident was involving kids. I only meant to say golf cars are dangerous, and we see a lot of children driving them. It is a wonder there aren't more accidents because of young kids driving them.

The gentleman in the golf cart accident passed away this afternoon. His wife is still in critical condition. They are from Duval. Have friends that are relatives.

Prayers for the family.

Omigosh, I know these people. I knew them from NH and hven't seen them for many years-didn't know they were in TV. I see they lived in Duval but they are not in the phone book. Now, apparently Homer has died and I feel terrible that I can't contact Linda. I realize she is in the hospital now but could you pm me if you know their address or phone number-or maybe the friends', so that I could contact them?

Thank you so much!

Sad to hear he passed - very unfortunate. Our condolences go out to the family - - -

Just a reminder to all. Know where your going and night driving is much different then daytime driving!!

This is so tragic. My heart is breaking for the family& friends of these folks.Does anyone know a way I can find out the names of the people involved. I play a lot of softball including one season for the Duval neighborhood team & know quite a few people from there.I'm up north for the summer so this info is hard to come by.

Homer and Linda Vachon.
