SPRING HILL, Fla. — Officials are currently searching for a driver who fled the scene after hitting a 16-year-old boy on Halloween morning.
The Florida Highway Patrol said on Oct. 31, a silver SUV was traveling west on Monarch Street in Spring Hill around 8:30 a.m. It then reached the intersection of Mariner Boulevard, where the boy, who was on his way to his high school, was crossing the street.
The suspect failed to stop at a stop sign and hit the boy before fleeing north from the site of the crash.
The boy was left behind with non-life-threatening injuries. He was taken to a local hospital to receive care after.
Officials are asking anyone with information about the incident to call *FHP (*347) or Crime Stoppers at **TIPS.
“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.
