CLEARWATER, Fla — A man is the second victim to die from a crash at US 19 and Countryside Boulevard in Clearwater on Wednesday.
On April 16, the Clearwater Police Department said a 77-year-old woman was driving a Lincoln Town Car north on US 19 when it collided with a Jeep Wrangler while attempting to make a left turn. One of the cars then hit a third vehicle.
The woman was taken to the hospital and later died from injuries in the crash. Her 79-year-old husband, a passenger in the car, was injured and taken to Orlando Health Bayfront in St. Petersburg before passing away on Saturday morning.
No other injuries were reported.
“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.
