AUBURNDALE, Fla. — Police are reporting that a series of crashes in Polk County early Tuesday morning are related.
The Auburndale Police Department said officers responded to two hit-and-runs and a fatal single-vehicle crash near Berkley Road and Strickland Lane around 3 a.m.
In the third crash, first responders arrived to find a vehicle had struck a tree, killing the driver. During a preliminary investigation, officers found that all three crashes are related.
Police said no further details about the involved parties or vehicles are available at this time, but anyone with information, including witnesses, residents with surveillance footage, or drivers who may have been in the area, should contact investigators at 863-965-5555.
“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.
