DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — A child is dead after police say they ran after a dog and into oncoming traffic Wednesday night.
The Daytona Beach Police Department said officers arrived at the scene on North Halifax Avenue around 8:21 p.m.
Officers said the victim was severely injured.
During an investigation, police learned that the victim had left their home to follow the family dog, which had escaped. While following the dog, the victim entered oncoming traffic and was hit by two vehicles.
The victim was severely injured and taken to a local hospital, where they later died.
Police said this is still 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.
