CHARLOTTE CO., Fla. — Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said there was a fatal collision Wednesday morning in Charlotte County.
FHP said just before 8:30 a.m., a 73-year-old Englewood man stopped his vehicle facing east on Oceanspray Boulevard for a stop sign at the intersection of Spinnaker Boulevard.
FHP said a second vehicle, driven by a 55-year-old Englewood woman, was traveling south on Spinnaker Boulevard, approaching the intersection of Oceanspray Boulevard.
In the report released by FHP, the man’s vehicle entered the intersection in front of the approaching vehicle of the woman, when they collided.
FHP said the woman's vehicle overturned, and she was ejected from her vehicle. She was pronounced deceased, according to FHP.
The report said the man suffered minor injuries.
FHP said the investigation into the collision is ongoing.
“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.
