bayside bridge accident today

Yes — I found reports of a crash on Bayside Bridge today.

📍 What happened

• A garbage truck overturned and rolled onto its side on the southbound side of the Bayside Bridge, near Drew Street.
• The crash forced a closure of all southbound lanes for a time.

🏥 Casualties & Injuries

• The truck’s driver — a 37-year-old man from Clearwater — was seriously injured and taken to hospital.
• Two passengers (men from St. Petersburg) suffered minor injuries and were also hospitalized.

🚧 Traffic Impact

• The southbound lanes were closed immediately after the crash, causing traffic disruption and likely backups across the bridge.
• Later reports indicate the lanes have since reopened.

If you like — I can check current traffic feeds or local updates to see if there are lingering impacts (delays, inspections, detours) on the Bayside Bridge now.
