HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla — An overturned truck closed two lanes of I-75 near Bruce B. Downs Boulevard in Hillsborough County.

Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said the crash happened around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday on I-75 southbound north of Bruce B. Downs Boulevard.

The truck driver swerved to avoid an unknown object in the roadway, lost control, and hit the barrier wall, causing the truck to flip.

FL-511 said two southbound lanes are blocked on I-75 at Bruce B. Downs as of 7:50 p.m.

“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.
