SARASOTA, Fla. — A 21-year-old Bradenton man was killed in a crash early Saturday morning after the driver lost control of the car, authorities said.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) report, the driver, 21, also from Bradenton, was driving a BMW vehicle westbound on Northgate Boulevard in Sarasota at a high rate of speed at about 2:45 a.m., when he lost control of the car.
The car rotated, drove over a curb and hit a tree.
The victim, who was the rear passenger, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver and a front passenger suffered minor injuries.
The FHP Homicide Unit is investigating the fatal crash.
“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.
