PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — A Dade City man was killed in a Pasco County crash on Friday after he lost control of the car he was driving, authorities said.

According to a Florida Highway Patrol report, the 42-year-old motorist was driving a Toyota Tacoma northbound on the Interstate 275 entrance ramp leading to Interstate 75 at about 6:46 p.m., when, for an unknown reason, he lost control of the vehicle.

The vehicle crossed the gore, overturned and came to rest in the northbound I-75 travel lanes.

The victim, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle.

He suffered serious injury, and was taken to an area hospital where he was later 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.
