HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. — A Weeki-Wachee man was killed in an early Sunday morning crash after the impact ejected him from the vehicle, authorities said.

The 23-year-old victim was driving a Toyota Tundra westbound on State Road 50 in Hernando County at about 12:42 a.m.

West of U.S. Highway 19, the man failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.

The Tundra went to the north shoulder of the highway and struck a utility pole. It then came back across the roadway to the south shoulder and overturned.

The driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle as it overturned, the report stated.

He was taken an area hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

 

“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.
