A deputy was injured during a crash between a PCSO-marked patrol vehicle and a semi-truck early Wednesday morning.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office said the incident occurred on eastbound Deen Still Road around 5:15 a.m.

The PCSO vehicle rolled over, but the deputy was able to get out and go check on the other driver, who was uninjured.

According to PCSO, the deputy was not significantly injured but was still taken to Lakeland Regional Health to get checked out.

The deputy's vehicle was towed.

“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.
