PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — A 13-year-old girl was taken to the hospital after she was hit by a driver who failed to stop for a school bus on Wednesday, according to officials.
The Florida Highway Patrol said around 3:05 p.m., the girl was dropped off by a Pasco County school bus, which was stopped with its lights activated, at East Road and Kodiak Avenue.
Troopers said a 59-year-old man driving a Mercury sedan south on East Road then failed to stop for the bus and hit the girl when she attempted to cross the road.
The girl suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital.
This is the second report we've received in less than three days about a child getting hit after being dropped off by a school bus.
On Tuesday, an 11-year-old girl in Brooksville was hit by a driver when she was walking home. She passed away from her injuries on Wednesday night.
“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.
