BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — A child who was hit by a car while walking home from a school bus stop in Brooksville has passed away, according to officials.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), a school bus dropped the child off near Eskimo Curlew Road and Osprey Avenue around 3:40 p.m. on Tuesday.
The 11-year-old girl started walking along the edge of the unpaved and unmarked road edge when a passing Toyota Corolla, being driven by a 65-year-old woman, hit her.
The girl was seriously injured and taken to a local hospital, where she passed away from her injuries Wednesday night.
Troopers said they are continuing to investigate the crash.
This is a developing story. ABC Action News will provide updates as they become available.
“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.
