TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Police Department is investigating a deadly crash involving a pedestrian.
Police were called to the crash around 9:42 p.m. on Friday (May 24) in the 8700 block of 40th Street.
Authorities said the pedestrian, an adult female, was trying to cross N. 40th Street westbound in the crosswalk just north of E. Yukon Street when she was hit by a Buick Enclave. She died as a result from her injuries.
The driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with police.
The investigation is ongoing and 40th Street between Yukon Street and Humphrey Street is expected to be closed until the investigation is over.
“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.
