FHP searching for Skyway accident driver

The Coast Guard called off its search after looking for the driver and any passengers for several hours.

The Florida Highway Patrol is looking for Christopher Henry of Bradenton in relation to the vehicle crash
on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge Tuesday.

Henry, 25, is the owner of the 2002 Chrysler Sedan that was involved in the crash where the driver disappeared. 

The Coast Guard suspended its search Tuesday afternoon for a driver and possible passengers of a crumpled car found on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in the morning. 
  
Troopers believe the driver was ejected and fell into the water when the vehicle flipped and hit a guardrail. They also said it appears whoever was in the car wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

The Coast Guard searched the waters beneath the bridge for several hours but didn't find the driver or possible passengers.

Anyone with information about Henry or regarding the crash, should call FHP Trooper Will Jarvis at (727) 570-5010.
