HUDSON, Fla. — A man was thrown from his motorcycle and died after a crash in Hudson on Saturday afternoon, the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said.

A Harley Davidson motorcycle was traveling northbound on Woodbine Drive behind a GMC Sierra towing a boat.

At the intersection of Powderhorn Row, the GMC attempted to turn left as the motorcyclist tried to pass the truck.

As a result, the motorcyclist collided with the left front portion of the GMC. The 76-year-old Hudson man who was operating the motorcycle was thrown from it and suffered fatal injuries at the scene of the crash.

The driver of the GMC, a 58-year-old New Port Richey man, did not have any injuries.

“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.
