LAKELAND, Fla. — A 24-year-old man is dead after he crashed his pickup truck Saturday morning in Lakeland, authorities said.
At around 1:50 a.m., deputies arrived at the intersection of Pipkin Road and Old Medulla Road after receiving a report of a crash, the Polk County Sheriff's Office (PCSO) said.
At the scene, PCSO said they found the 24-year-old man seriously hurt. Polk County Fire Rescue took the man to a nearby hospital, but he later died due to his injuries.
Through their investigation, deputies said the man was driving his 2018 Ford F-150 pickup truck when he drove off the road and struck a metal power pole. The 24-year-old did not appear to be wearing a seatbelt when the crash occurred.
PCSO said the crash remains under investigation.
“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.
