OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. — Six people were killed in an Osceola County crash on June 21 after the SUV they were in collided with a tractor-trailer and caught fire, authorities said.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) report, a 2024 Hyundai Tucson, which six people inside, was traveling on State Road 60, west of South Kenansville Road, shortly before 4 p.m.
At the same time, a 2011 semitruck, driven by a 36-year-old Miami Gardens man, was eastbound on S.R. 60.
The Tucson driver entered the eastbound lane to pass several vehicles. When the driver tried to move back into the westbound lane, the motorist lost control of the SUV, the report stated.
As a result, the tractor-trailer then slammed into the side of the SUV, causing both vehicles to erupt in flames.
All six people in the SUV, possibly three adults and three children, were caught inside the SUV and died at the scene, FHP officials said.
The Medical Examiner’s Office will update FHP after it identifies the victims.
The tractor-trailer driver suffered minor injuries.
“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.
