TAMPA, Fla. — The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) is investigating a deadly vehicle versus pedestrian crash in Tampa.
HCSO said a 3-year-old boy was hit and killed by a vehicle on Thursday evening while riding a bicycle and playing with his siblings. The child's mother was reportedly not far behind.
Deputies responded to reports of a toddler that was hit by a car near the 7500 block of Pitch Pine Circle in Tampa just before 7 p.m.
The driver, a male, was in a Toyota Rav 4 driving through a condo complex and stayed at the scene. He is not facing any criminal charges.
No further information was immediately available and the investigation is still ongoing.
“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.
