CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. — A pedestrian was killed in a Citrus County crash on Saturday when he attempted to cross a roadway, authorities said.

A Dodge Ram, driven by a 75-year-old Lecanto man, was traveling eastbound on County Road 490, approaching South Lantana Way at about 11:57 p.m.

At the same time, a male Homosassa pedestrian, 36, was walking a Lectric bike across the roadway.

According to a Florida Highway Patrol report, the pedestrian entered the path of the Ram and was struck.

The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.
 

“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.
