PALMETTO, Fla. — Two people were injured after a small plane crashed into a pickup truck at Airport Manatee on Tuesday.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office said around 10 a.m., an older Aeronca Champion, a two seater plane, was having difficulties taking off. It then veered off to the north, clipped a power line and crashed into the parked, unoccupied truck.
The plane's pilot and passenger were injured and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injures. No one on the ground was injured.
MCSO said the FAA will take the lead on the crash 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.
