Does anyone have any information about an accident at Buena Vista and 466A this morning? My 4 YO grandson was a passenger in one of the vehicles and I'm just trying to find out what happened.

His uncle, the driver, has a broken wrist, broken foot and a cracked rib. His girl friend is on a heart monitor at least overnight. They were taken to Ocala. My grandson and another little boy were air evacced to Arnold Palmer in Orlando. Both boys are fine, just being kept overnight for observation.

I'm hoping the driver and any passengers of the other vehicle are okay. No one seemed to know. So, if anyone knows anything, please let me know. Thank you.

So sorry to hear this. My prayers for your family and all involved. Keep us updated please.

Oh my goodness, Redwitch......I do hope all recover and quickly!
Prayers for all are offered.

I'd heard the accident was on 466 and the 2 med-vacs were in the polo-field. I was told by an observer at the softball fields. So two accidents?? Or was it this one?

I'm soooo sorry to hear about your family and of course the others involved! Keep us updated!

I honestly don't know. I thought my daughter said 466A and BV, but it could have been closer to 466 (which actually makes more sense). I doubt either of us were really that coherent even with a happy, healthy little boy lying in the hospital bed. (His only complaint was that he was bored.)

Thanks for the well wishes. I'll let y'all know what I know when I have more facts.

It was 466 and Buena Vista. I was on my way to my volunteer work at 9:30 this morning and I turn from Buena Vista onto 466 - there was a big traffic tie-up at that corner. I did not see either car but saw lots of broken glass, police, and a firetruck. Obvioulsly, one of the vehicles ran the stoplight.

There was also an accident at Buena Vista and 466A at about 215 pm today, I swathe police but was driving by going the opposite way. I do not have any details.

Redwitch, I am so sorry to hear this. He wasn't with his mom?

Redwitch, prayers for you and your family. I'm so happy the children are okay. I hope everyone comes through this.

Still no details. Aaron was with his babysitter (the brother's girl friend; Jess was on her way to work). Sadly, injuries were more severe to the adults than first thought. The woman almost had her foot severed and will undergo surgery tomorrow. Prayers that she will get through this and not lose her foot.

Thank goodness for car seats! I do believe they saved both boys from serious injury. The only injury to either boy was a slight bruise to my grandson's cheek (unless something comes up overnight, which is highly unlikely).

Finally found some info: Four injured in accident Monday morning at Buena Vista, 466 - **************

At least we now know no one in the truck was injured. Four people is enough.

I'm so glad that the babies are OK. Prayers that tomorrow's surgery goes well.

I'm up late too - couldn't sleep. Just read the posts...... life can change in just an instant. What a scare for you and your daughter. I'm glad you could see and touch him and know he was basically OK. He'll probably not remember all this......but you two will never forget it. Have a Cole Classic (with a little something extra) and know your TOTV friends will keep you, your grandson and daughter and the others in our prayers.

Redwitch, I am hoping that everyone who was injured makes a speedy recovery.

There is a moral to this story.

Any time you are at a red light, especially in one of the big intersections please do this; when the light turns green count to five, look left, then right then go forward. If someone behind you honks, don't worry about it. It's better to be a little annoying than be T-boned by another vehicle and injured or killed.

I speak from experience.
