HERNADO COUNTY, Fla. — Two Homosassa residents were killed in a head-on crash in Hernando County early Saturday morning after one motorist was driving the wrong way, officials said.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), a 45-year-old Homosassa man was driving a Volkswagen Jetta southbound in the northbound lanes of State Road 589 at about 12:40 a.m.

The second vehicle, a Honda Odyssey, driven by a 47-year-old Homosassa woman, was traveling northbound on SR 589.

Just north of County Line Road, the Jetta collided with the Odyssey.

After the impact, both vehicles spun and then flipped, killing both drivers at the scene, FHP officials said.

Two passengers traveling in the Odyssey, a 20-year-old Inverness woman and a 20-year-old Homosassa man, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to an area hospital.

 

“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.
