ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Eastbound traffic on the Gandy Bridge is following once again following a traffic crash Thursday afternoon.
Several vehicles are involved in the crash, which took place on the St. Petersburg side of the bridge. The bridge closed for a period of time preventing traffic from traveling eastbound into Tampa.
Troopers say the driver of a Slingshot motorcycle was thrown from the bike after losing control, colliding with the adjacent barrier wall, and hitting a passing sedan.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
