THEY TELL ME WHILE HE IS UNRESPONSIVE AT THIS POINT.
THEY ARE STILL OPTIMISTIC HE'LL PULL THROUGH.

THIS IS VIDEO OF DAVID VANAMAN FROM THE CROSS WAY BAPTIST CHURCH'S WEBSITE.
HE'S A PASTOR THERE.
AND TONIGHT HIS FAMILY IS ASKING FOR YOUR PRAYERS.
DAVID VANAMAN, VICTIM'S SON: It's devastating I mean I'm the oldest of his nine kids so we're doing everything we can right now to pull together as a family
THIS WAS THE SCENE YESTERDAY NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF BRIARCLIFF ROAD AND THE METRO PKWY INTERSECTION.
DEPUTIES SAY VANAMAN CRASHED HIS SCOOTER AFTER AN SUV PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HIM.
DAVID VANAMAN, VICTIM'S SON: that's where he sustained most of his injuries on his left side from rolling his bike over and I think on the scene he wasn't really that responsive
HE AVOIDED DIRECT IMPACT -- BUT IS STILL CLINGING TO LIFE.
two fractures to his skull some severe hemorrhaging there they've got him sedated now on a ventilator
BEN SAYS HIS FATHER ALWAYS RODE HIS SCOOTER AROUND TOWN.
BUT HE NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN.
AND HE BELIEVES IT'S POSSIBLE THE WRECK COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.
DAVID VANAMAN, VICTIM'S SON: putting in a six lane highway with cross traffic and no light doesn't seem like a good idea
JULIAN: Ben tells me his father is not only a school bus driver for lee county but he's also a pastor here at Cross Way Baptist Church and because of that the community is already reaching out to the family
the church is already sending some support and being helpful we even set up a facebook page
DEPUTIES ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THE WOMAN THEY BELIEVE WAS DRIVING THE TOYOTA OR LEXUS TRUCK THAT CAUSED DAVID TO WRECK.
BUT THIS FAMILY SAYS, RIGHT NOW, FINDING THE DRIVER IS THE LEAST OF THEIR WORRIES.
if she was aware and left then that's unfortunate but I don't think it really benefits us or not to know who or how it happened just we're doing what we can to pull around my dad
Return to index of stories...
SO AS YOU HEARD THERE.
THIS FAMILY IS SIMPLY PRAYING FOR THEIR FATHER TO GET WELL.
THERE'S STILL A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN AT THAT INTERSECTION WHERE THE CRASH HAPPENED.
WHETHER THERE SHOULD BE A LIGHT OR JUST RIGHT TURN ONLY.
BUT FLORIDA DOT SAYS A SURVEY WOULD HAVE TO BE CONDUCTED BEFORE ANY CHANGES TAKE PLACE.

A STAPLE ON MATLACHA.

SO WHEN TWO PEOPLE PASSED A 20 DOLLAR BILL FOR DRINKS TO-GO --
IT WAS UNSUSPECTING.
:27 one will come in first and order a water - get 18 dollars in change and off you go.
:39 hour later comes the other person -- gets the change and off they go
BUT. BERNARD'S PHILLIPS STAFF WAS HANDED TWO COUNTERFEIT 20 DOLLAR BILLS.
:54 when you touch it it feels just like a dollar bill
AND SEVERAL MILES DOWN ON PINE ISLAND ROAD IN CAPE CORAL -- REPORTS SAY BONEFISH GRILL WAS GIVEN 60 DOLLARS IN FAKE CASH.
THE BILLS ALL PASSED THE PEN TEST.
22:00 typically dont pass the pen test but this one did it would raise awareness that u need to look beyond the grabbing the bill stroking with a pen and moving on 22:09
the secret service actually doesn't recommend the pen test but rather using a light to check for the security strip.
only other way the length is 1/8th of an inch shorter.
THE SECRET SERVICE TELLS US THEY ARE ACTIVELY WORKING MORE THAN 20 CASES IN THE AREA REGARDING COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
INVESTIGATORS SAY THE SAME SMALL GROUP MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BOTH OF THE NEW CASES.
36:41 reinforces a policy we already had in place:43
SUE PHILLIPS AT ISLAND DECORE AND MORE SAYS THEY'VE TAKEN NOTICE --
CHECKING EVERY BILL OVER FIVE DOLLARS TO PROTECT SHOPPERS AND THEMSELVES.
35:44 its your loss, 100 percent your loss
AND TO PREVENT SUCH LOSSES -- BERT'S IS INSTALLING A LIGHT THAT DETECTS COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
48:40 with a 20 youre caught off guard
HOPEFULLY STOPPING CROOKS BEFORE THEY PASS BY.

THE SPRINT TO THE FINISH IS ON.
MITT ROMNEY AND PRESIDENT OBAMA HAVE LESS THAN TWO WEEKS TO MAKE THEIR CASE TO UNDECIDED VOTERS.
TODAY, BOTH MEN CAMPAIGNED WITH THEIR RUNNING MATES, A DAY AFTER THE FINAL DEBATE.
LAST NIGHT'S TOPIC WAS FOREIGN POLICY, AND THE PRESIDENT KEPT THE THEME GOING TODAY IN OHIO;.
"America needs leadership that is strong and steady. Unfortunately, Governor Romney's foreign policy's been wrong and reckless. You heard him last night. He was all over the map.
ROMNEY SPOKE TO VOTERS IN COLORADO, AND NEVADA, WHERE HE SHIFTED THE FOCUS TO THE ECONOMY.
Return to index of stories...
"Four more years like the last four years would continue to have a president playing hide and seek trying to find a plan to get the economy going and to create jobs. This is a president who's approach to creating jobs is another stimulus. How'd the first one work out?
HERE'S SOMETHING TO LOOK FOR TOMORROW.
DONALD TRUMP IS PLANNING TO MAKE WHAT HE CALLS A "BIG" ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT PRESIDENT OBAMA.
HE HAS GIVEN FEW HINTS, BUT HE'S A SUPPORTER OF ROMNEY, AND HE'S ALSO BEEN A HUGE CRITIC OF PRESIDENT OBAMA.
HIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS EXPECTED TO HAPPEN AT NOON ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER.

"this is just going to waste a lot of time, it's not going to pass." commissioner chris constance, charlotte county
GOING INTO TODAY'S MEETING, COMMISSIONERS WERE SPLIT ON THE IDEA OF SPENDING 3.1 MILLION DOLLARS TO PURCHASE THIS BUILDING AND TURN IT INTO A CENTER TO SUPPORT ENTERPENEURS AND BOOST THE ECONOMY.
"it's our jobs to weight the pros and cons and it's with sadness that I have to say that I've made that decision." Commissioner Tricia Duffy, charlotte county
TRICIA DUFFY WAS THE ONLY UNDECIDED COMMISSIONER, UNTIL SHE TOLD THE PUBLIC SHE WOULDN'T SUPPORT THE IDEA.
SHE SAYS ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT HAVE CHANGED PUTTING MORE RESPONSIBILITY IN THE HANDS OF THE COUNTY AND NOT PRIVATE PARTNERS.
"and I don't want the county running anything like that." Commissioner Tricia Duffy, charlotte county
SHE WASN'T ALONE, TAX PAYERS HAVE BEEN VOICING THEIR OPPOSITION TO THE PURCHASE AND SHOWED UP IN NUMBERS TODAY.
"the idea of a business incubator should also be private, and real estate needs to be private, the government needs to stay out of it." Dave Kesselring, charco resident
COMMISSIONERS STARR AND DUETSCH WERE AGAINST THE PLAN FROM THE START.
"there's absolutely no way I could have voted for this." Commissioner Stephen R. Deutsch, Charlotte County.
COMMISSIONER SKIDMORE POINTS OUT THE BOARD ASKED THE
COUNTY'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO BE BOLD AND COME UP WITH IDEAS LIKE THIS. NOW, HE WORRIES TODAY'S DECISION MIGHT HURT FUTURE PROPOSALS.
"what's happened is every time we vet something it seems some people can organize a group against it and we start to get on shaky ground and that's not fair to anyone." Commissioner Robert Skidmore, Charlotte County.
