CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. — Two Brooksville friends riding on a motorcycle were killed on Saturday after the driver failed to stop for another vehicle, according to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP).
A 79-year-old Brooksville man was driving the Harley Davidson motorcycle with his 69-year-old passenger, also from Brooksville, westbound on Dixieland Street in Citrus County at about 1:12 p.m.
A Nissan Altima, driven by a 51-year-old Homosassa woman, was traveling northbound on U.S. Highway 19.
At the intersection of the two roadways, the motorcycle driver failed to yield, entered the path of the Altima and was hit, an FHP report stated.
The couple on the motorcycle, who were described as friends by FHP officials, were taken to a hospital where they were 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.
