CITRUS COUNTY, Fla — A 19-year-old man died in a car crash on South Lecanto Highway in Citrus County early Friday morning.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), the victim, who is from New York, was driving a Nissan Altima on South Lecanto Highway north of West Black Circle around 4 a.m.

The car then went off the road and hit a concrete power pole.

Officials said the man was taken to the hospital but later died from his injuries 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.
