The accident happened Tuesday.
Investigators say they have confirmed the body of a man found off Egmont Key is the person who drove a car that hit a guardrail on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge Tuesday.

After the driver hit the rail, the car flipped over.

When investigators arrived on the scene, the driver was not in the vehicle.

Investigators believe the driver may have been ejected from the car during the crash and was thrown into the water.

The victim was 25-year-old Christopher Henry of Bradenton, who had been reported missing since the crash. His body was found Thursday.
