PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — A woman crashed into a Pinellas County home Monday afternoon and injured a dog inside, according to Florida Highway Patrol.

FHP said an 87-year-old St. Petersburg woman was driving in the parking lot of the Oak Ridge Wesleyan Church in Largo.

Authorities said they believe the driver accidentally hit the gas and not the brake, going across a roadway and crashing into a home.

The driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries and went to the hospital for treatment.

The person in the home was not injured, but a dog in the house was injured and was taken to an area veterinarian.

“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.
