A chain reaction crash Monday night on the Howard Frankland Bridge sent a driver into Tampa Bay.

Florida Highway Patrol says a Nissan Frontier with a small trailer was parked in the inside southbound lane of I-275, just south of the bridge crest, and the driver was out of the vehicle.

Troopers say a Toyota Corolla took evasive action to avoid a crash but struck the trailer, which slammed into the driver and sent him over the wall into Tampa Bay.

A Jeep Compass then hit the back of the Corolla, according to FHP.

Several agencies responded, and troopers say the driver was pulled from the water and rushed to the hospital.
