According to a Florida Highway Patrol report, the GMC pickup truck towing the utility trailer, driven by a 44-year-old Homosassa man, was traveling eastbound on Northwest 19th Street at about 11:08 p.m.

West of Northwest 13th Street, a 42-year-old Homosassa woman, for an unknown reason, was running alongside the vehicle. 

The woman then fell and was run over by the trailer tires. She died at the scene, the report stated.     

“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.
