HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. — One person died, and three people were seriously injured after a near head-on collision in Hernando County on Tuesday.

The Florida Highway Patrol said an 18-year-old Orlando man was driving a Hyundai Elantra north on Citrus Way around 4:57 p.m. when he lost control of the vehicle south of Kensington Road and entered the southbound lane.

The Elantra then crashed into a Hyundai Accent, being driven south by a 17-year-old boy from Weeki Wachee.

A 47-year-old woman who was a passenger in the Accent was seriously injured and taken to a local hospital, where she later passed away.

Both drivers, as well as a 15-year-old boy who was a passenger in the Elantra, suffered serious injuries and were taken to local hospitals.

“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.
