Bad breakup causes 5-vehicle crash that hospitalizes two and kills puppy, Tampa police say

A puppy was killed in the crash.

TAMPA, Fla.—A breakup led to a five-vehicle crash that closed the westbound lanes of the Courtney Campbell Causeway for about two hours early Saturday morning, Tampa police said.

A driver was upset about a recent breakup and purposely crashed into the concrete median wall, according to officers. That crash caused a chain-reaction crash with five other vehicles, police said.

Two people from the other vehicles were taken to the hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. A two-month-old puppy was killed in the crash.
