MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. — Three people are dead after a pickup truck crashed into a utility pole in Manatee County early Wednesday morning.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the truck was traveling south on I-275 around 3:17 a.m. It then left the road and entered the median before colliding with the pole.
After the crash, the truck caught fire. The driver, along with two passengers, were pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials are still trying to identify the victims, and 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.
