Sad for Nancy Von
 

A sad night. Nancy Von was a former neighbor and a nice lady. Back when I thought I could golf, she was my partner several times, and often golfed with my friend Kathy next door. So sad. She was a pretty lady and full of fun. I'm sure the other lady was nice as well. You never know when your time is up. Another friend lost Another Nancy😪

I find it "odd" that you know this didn't happen or that such an action would have averted the ultimate outcome. It's absurd to jump to such a conclusion and try to allege somebody in this tragic situation failed to do whatever was necessary to avoid the tragedy.

Your comments are pitiful.

Want to know what Caused driver to lose control?? Heart attack, stroke,etc would be published immediately. Overdose of drugs , even if prescription, may Not be published as to avoid the anger and fear of villagers. Imagine 58 yrs old, on drugs, killing villagers? I am Not saying this is what happened, but questioning the lack of information published makes U wonder. And the driver had passenger beside him. My prayers go out to the victims. They seemed like lovely ladies.

The sheriff's report said it was a medical episode.


The media can only report what they know and do report what they know. The media publish everything else with mugshots. I don't know why someone on drugs causing a fatal accident would be exempt.


I am not sure why you think "The Villages" was involved. They may have once owned the newspaper directly, and sold it to a friend, but Meta isn't owned by ANYONE. "They" publish just about everything that is public knowledge. Even suicides, which the paper does not publish.


The First Amendment is alive and well in The Villages.

All this discussion has turned away from the awful fact that two are dead and two people have injuries and I am sure are suffering.

You could be right. The passenger might have taken action that averted even more tragedy. I don't think I jumped to any conclusion. I believe that my comments left that as a possibility. There are any number of possibilities as to what may or may not have transpired.

Personal attacks like this however are what make some forums places that people don't want to visit.

You both can be right. A car travelling at 45 mph is going 72.5 feet/sec. If the driver had a SUDDEN loss of consciousness his SUV could jump the curb, cross the grass, and be on the MMP in less than 1 second. Nobody could react that quickly, not to mention the difficulty of actually getting control of a car from the passenger seat. Hence, no need for insults.

Spot on regarding control of the car from the passenger seat, especially when you consider the interior of an Escalade.
