HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — A man is dead after his car collided with a tractor-trailer that was sticking out from a driveway early Wednesday morning.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the 23-year-old victim was traveling south on US-301 in a BMW 328i around 1 a.m.
While driving, he failed to see a tractor-trailer parked in a private driveway at Gulf Coast Thermo King on US-301 South, which was partially sticking out into the road.
The BMW then collided with the tractor-trailer, and the victim died at the scene. The tractor-trailer's driver, a 26-year-old man, was uninjured.
“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.
