Why on earth do they do this? They have no names, no details. so do they do this to make people wonder if it is someone they know? Now scared that someone they know could be in the accident? I do hope the women involved in the accident are okay. I really do. I can’t help but think about the spoofs they do on saturday night live when the news anchor comes on and says “is your child in danger of eating this deadly food? more details after the commercial… and they continue to do this through the whole show with more and more sensational stories. It isn’t funny by any means- but it is what the news appears to do. They never give all the details just keep you hanging on the edge.

Quote from Herald Tribune

Two women were injured when the car they were in struck a tree on U.S. 41 near Bayfront Park at 6 p.m. today.

Sarasota Police officers who responded to the crash offered few details. 

At least two people were in the white convertible car that hit a tree. One woman was flown to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg. Another woman was trapped in the car and had to be removed by emergency crews. 

She was taken to Sarasota Memorial Hospital.

Crazy day! So I get to work after what happend this morning. And I look out of the window and see police cars and ambulances every where. Then not about 10 minutes later 2 helicopters go over and start life lining people from I-75 South Bound. Come to find out there was a fatal car accident at exit 208. Could this day get any crazier?!

Quote from Herald Tribune

“The Florida Highway Patrol is reporting a fatal vehicle crash with other injuries that is blocking the southbound lanes of Interstate 75 near mile marker 208, just north of Bee Ridge Road.

The northbound lanes are open.

Officials say the crash included an overturned car and was reported at 3:10 p.m. It involved one fatality and other injuries, though the total number is not yet known.

The names of the victims have not yet been released pending notification of next of kin.”

So I wake up to this morning to people talking really loud and police/ambulance sirens sounding like they are roud outside my door. I go to look out my window and behind my condo by the pond is about 15 people (including police officers and ambulance). They were roping off a section of the wooded area behind my condo. Being only a 2 week resident of Lake Village in the Meadows, I was curious as to what was going on. My brother also was awake and decided to go down and ask them what was going on, since just the night before, he was down at the pond fishing.

The police officer stated that they did find the body of a 76 OLD Man half way in the water. I thought this was pretty crazy, and the first thing that came to my mind was if someone had been murdered and would I be a suspect? I guess that’s what happens to your thoughts when you watch to much Forensic Files. LOL. Anyways, come to find out from the story below, they believe the man had died of “natural causes”. I just can’t believe something like this would happen not even 2 weeks of me being in the condo association.

It’s sad to think that someone went for a walk or what not and never returned. He must of had a stroke or a heart attack and fell into the water. My thoughts go out to the family members and friends of Bert Berube. I original thought this was the Condo Association president but I guess not. I do know that the president was in the same area as the guy that passed, but I don’t believe it was him, otherwise I’m sure it would of been all over the news.

Quote from Herald Tribune

“Deputies suspect that a man whose body was found partially submerged in a pond this morning died of natural causes.

Bert Berube, 76, was a resident of one of the condominiums in the Lake Village section of The Meadows.

There is heavy vegetation around the pond behind Berube’s condominium, and a maintenance worker found his body about 8:30 this morning laying on the pond bank. His feet were on shore and the rest of his body was in the pond.

Near his body was a sign that had apparently fallen down.

A sheriff’s spokesman said deputies suspect Berube may have stepped back into the brush to fix the fallen sign, and had some sort of medical emergency. There are no signs of trauma on his body.”

So that concludes my off story today. Hope everyone enjoys reading. Thanks!
