VPD said their officers and the Venice Fire Rescue responded to a report of a truck submerged, and a preliminary investigation indicates that the vehicle left the road, struck a utility pole, and then entered the water.
Then, the City of Venice Public Safety Dive Team and some members of the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office Dive Team responded to the scene and found the man inside the car.
He appeared to be the driver of the car and was pronounced dead at the scene.
This is an ongoing 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.
