TAMPA — The Florida Highway Patrol released the names of the suspects who troopers say fled from an attempted traffic stop Thursday, crashed on the Howard Frankland Bridge and then jumped into Tampa Bay.

Torren Lee Jackson, 16, of Tampa was dead when authorities pulled him from the water, troopers said.

Joshua Richard Reed-Acton, 18, of Temple Terrace survived but was seriously injured when he was rescued from the bay and taken to a local hospital.

Investigators were still working Friday to confirm which of the teens was driving, said Sgt. Steve Gaskins, a spokesman for the Highway Patrol.

Neither had a valid license, troopers said. Investigators found a large amount of cash and drugs in the crashed car, according to the Highway Patrol.

The incident started at about 4:10 p.m. Thursday when a trooper attempted to pull over a car speeding north on Interstate 275 near milepost 28 in St. Petersburg, rapidly approaching the bridge.

The car at times exceeded 120 mph, the Highway Patrol said, passed a trooper and kept going. The trooper gave up the chase at milepost 31, the Highway Patrol said, because the car was being driven recklessly and it became too dangerous to continue the chase.

But the car didn’t slow down as it entered the Howard Frankland. It was still speeding when it crashed into three vehicles east of the hump, near milepost 36 on the Tampa side of the bridge.

Two males exited the crashed car, troopers said, and jumped over the bridge’s concrete barrier and into the waters of Tampa Bay.

A rush of law enforcement and rescue vehicles arrived and blocked all northbound lanes. The bridge entrance into Tampa is one of the worst traffic choke points in the Tampa Bay region, and Thursday’s events only made that worse.

Tampa Fire Rescue said one person — identified by troopers Friday as Reed-Acton — was alive and injured when he was pulled from the water by a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission boat sent to the scene.

Troopers have not said what kind of drugs were found in the car or what kind of charges Reed-Acton might face.
