LAKE PLACID, Fla. — A 53-year-old man from Labelle died after a car crash on U.S. Highway 27, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

State troopers say the man was standing on the northbound shoulder of his tow truck with a car and trailer in tow. A car was driving northbound on the outside lane, North of Ragan Avenue, when it sideswiped the man, the car and trailer in tow.

The man was found dead on the scene. FHP says this crash is still under investigation. If you have any information about this case, contact the police.

“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.
