This is the story of when Bill Windsor truck hit on April 10 2024.

This shows an entrance lane in the center of the photo (to the right of the yellow stripe).  The two Driveway exit lanes are just to the left.  The Driveway is 27-feet wide and the entry lane is about double that to allow vehicles in and into the parking areas to the right.

The accident happened on 4/10/2024 when I visited the Winn Dixie grocery store at 1122 N Main Street in Bushnell Florida, just off Highway 301.  I have gone there about twice a week for many months.  I drive in the only entrance to the Parking Lot off Main Street (shown above).  I travel about 200-feet to the front of Winn Dixie and park in the Handicapped Parking space at the right front of the Winn Dixie building.  (The pickup truck is shown in the space in this photo.)

I have always parked in the same spot or one to the left if the end space is occupied.

I always leave the same way.  I back straight out and then turn to the left to do a U-Turn around any of the cars in that parking area.  This puts me back on the Entrance Driveway. (I did a U just past the white car in this photo.)

This is what I see at the spot on the Driveway where I turned on the way in.

I measured this at 190-feet, the distance from the Stop Sign at the highway to the entrance to the parking areas beside Winn Dixie’s building.  This is my view after I did my U-Turn.

I measured the width of the Driveway to be 27-feet.

Florida road width must be 12-feet per lane.  This makes the Driveway two lanes, one in each direction.  The Pickup Truck has a width of six-feet and is 20-feet long.

This is the exit from the big Parking Lot to the right of the entrance drive.  It is 70-feet to the Stop Sign.  This is where the Robert Lindquist vacated his parking space on 4/10/2024 in his 2020 Polaris Slingshot and headed for home.  He ran right into the driver’s door of the pickup truck driven by Bill Windsor.

Robert Lindquist later lied about this in a bizarre claim saying I had passed him.  But I never passed anyone, and when we first spoke on 4/10/2024, he said to me: “I didn’t see you.”  I responded: “I didn’t see you.”  He hit me from my left rear.  He came to my truck window.  I am disabled so I remained seated right where he hit me.  I did not move the truck an inch.  Robert Lindquist admitted fault and signed an agreement saying his insurance would pay.  But 10 days later, he has not filed an insurance claim.  This is very strange.

Robert Lindquist is shown giving information to Bill Windsor after he hit Windsor’s truck.  This shows the truck in the right lane of the Driveway about 10-feet from the white line, 30-feet to the Stop Sign.  This is the precise scene of the accident.  Damage can be seen on the driver’s side of the truck.  The tree (Tree #1), seen to the right just above the cab, is 23-feet to the Stop Sign.  The white lane divider is 20-feet long, and Robert Lindquist is standing about 15-feet from it.  This places the truck at about 40-feet from the Stop Sign.  The truck is 20-feet long, so the truck is positioned from 40-feet to 60-feet in the Driveway.

I paid to have a Report run on this license plate.  It provides complete details on the vehicle, and it  says VIN is 57XAARHB3L8139693.  License Plate: Florida MUUS37.  But Robert Lindquist gave me an insurance card on 4/20/2024 for a 2010 Chevrolet.

The insurance card that Robert Lindquist allowed me to photograph on 4/20/2024 shows: Vehicle Identification Number 2G1WL52J511245489 for a 2001 Chevrolet.  This is not the 2020 Polaris Slingshot.

I was able to lighten an unreadable photo from 4/17/2024, and it shows to be the insurance for the 2020 Polaris Slingshot.

This is the left front of the truck after the accident.  The tree (Tree #2) seen above the truck cab provides further evidence of the location of the accident and the position of the truck in the far right of the Driveway.  Tree #2 is 60-feet from Tree #1, so 83-feet from the Stop Sign.  The front end of the truck is at about 63-feet from the Stop Sign.  Robert Lindquist is seen here looking at the damage.

Bill Windsor met two police officers at the Winn-Dixie Parking Lot on April 16, 2024 . Robert Lindquist, was also there.

The police ensured that proof of insurance and driver’s licenses were exchanged.

Robert Alan Lindquist, DOB 11-16-1951, Driver’s License Michigan L532 745 040 878, 128 Oak Street, Montrose, MI 48457, 810-730-4421.  Unfortunately, the photo cut off the State Farm insurance card, so I managed to get one from him on 4/20/2024.
