The man failed to stop for the stop sign and continued south across Popash Road and onto the grass shoulder.
The truck then collided with a small wooden post and a large oak tree.
The driver died at the scene.
The crash remains under investigation.
HOA said yes, but the CDD says no: Sun City Center homeowners ordered to remove backyard fences
For years, homeowners in one Hillsborough County neighborhood had fences around their backyards — fences that were approved by their homeowners' association.
