TAMPA, Fla. — A 23-year-old Tampa man died after trying to save his dog from oncoming traffic.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), the man's girlfriend was involved in a car crash.
When the man reached the crash, he got out of the car, and his dog, a doberman, followed him. The dog then ran into the roadway.
That's when the man ran after the dog and was then hit by an oncoming Honda CRV, according to FHP.
The dog died as a result of the crash, and the man was taken to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
The 31-year-old female driver was not injured in the crash.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
