HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. — A Brooksville man driving an all-terrain vehicle with his girlfriend and two young girls was killed early Saturday morning after he hit a fence and overturned.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) report, the 36-year-old man was driving a Polaris side-by-side all-terrain vehicle northbound on Saturn Road in Hernando County at about 12:44 a.m. when he lost control around a curve at the 3300 block of the roadway.
The vehicle left the roadway, hit a fence, and overturned, the patrol report stated.
The driver was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.
The three passengers were his daughter, 11, his girlfriend, 36, and her 10-year-old daughter. They were not injured, the report stated.
“We need to listen to the voice of the people, right?”
Last summer, the Florida Department of Environment Protection considered adding amenities like golf courses, pickleball courts, and hotels to state parks across the state. After public outcry, the plans were shelved, but the fight isn't over for some Florida residents.
