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

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

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

A Jeep Compass then struck the rear of the Corolla, according to FHP.

Several agencies have responded, and soldiers say the driver was removed from the water and taken to hospital.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
