SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla. — A Florida man died after he was ejected from his vehicle due to a collision with a street light and fence in Sarasota County early Sunday morning, according to a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) report.
A sedan was traveling east on Clark Road, approaching Catamaran Drive.
A Jeep was traveling east on Clark Road as well and slowed down directly in front of the sedan.
The front of the sedan then collided with the rear of the Jeep.
The collision caused the sedan to travel off the roadway and collide with a street light and fence, ejecting the driver from the vehicle.
The driver, a 24-year-old man from Avon Park, Florida, was pronounced dead on scene.
The driver of the Jeep was uninjured, while the passenger suffered minor injuries.
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.
