PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — A Tampa woman was killed in an Interstate 75 crash on early Sunday morning, after the driver lost control of the vehicle she was in, authorities said.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) report, a Toyota Camry, driven by a 30-year-old Tampa man was traveling southbound on I-75 in Pasco County at about 1:50 a.m.
South of State Road 52, the driver passed another vehicle but then took evasive action to avoid a collision, the report stated.
The driver lost control of the Cam which rotated to the shoulder of the highway and struck a tree.
A 28-year-old Tampa woman traveling as a passenger in the vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene.
FHP officials could not say what the relationship was between the driver and passenger.
“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.
