EMS and police vehicles were at an address on Kings Mills Dr. A check of the EMS web site and OCSO site ,showed dispatches to 1758 Kings Mill, for a vehicle accident. Fairways watch went to the scene and found a damaged Jeep SUV and a Florida Highway Patrolman---- Trooper Reyes.
   The trooper was filling out a report on the accident described as follows. ----A 64 year old male resident pulled into park at 1758 Kings Mill. The resident neglected to put the transmission into the park position, before leaving the Jeep.---The vehicle started moving, unattended ,down Kings Mill. In attempt to stop the vehicle, the resident, tried to open the door and bring the car to a halt. The car,----out of control,ended up against a tree at 1788 Kings Mill.---. This left the resident pinned between the door and the tree.
 EMS transported the accident victim to the hospital. Trooper Reyes said that the resident was seriously injured---but the injuries did not appear to be life threatening.
