A Tesla sedan, driven by a 25-year-old St. Petersburg man, was traveling southbound on I-275 at a high rate of speed. Near the 16 Milepost and approaching the Skyway Bridge, the driver lost control, departed the roadway, entered the shoulder, collided with a drainage pond, and overturned into the mangroves.
The unrestrained driver was ejected from the vehicle and thrown into the Gulf of Mexico where he was retrieved by a passing boater. The boater delivered the driver to the Maximo Park boat ramp where he was then transferred to an area hospital with serious injuries.
