PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — A Clearwater woman is dead after being ejected from the vehicle she was riding in when the driver fell asleep and crashed near the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers say this happened around 4 a.m. Sunday when a Chevy Colorado driven by a 21-year-old Pinellas Park man was going southbound on I-275 near the Skyway Bridge.

The woman was then reportedly ejected from her vehicle and would later die from her injuries after being taken to a hospital.
