A man intentionally crashed his car early Saturday morning causing five other cars to collide, according to Tampa Police. Two people were injured and a two-month-old dog riding in one car died.

At about 2 a.m., officers responded to the multi-car collision on the westbound lanes of the Courtney Campbell Causeway at the Pinellas County line.

They found a driver despondent over a recent breakup intentionally veered his car into the concrete median wall. Five other cars followed in a chain-reaction crash.

Two people in the other cars were taken to hospitals with non-life threatening injuries. A two-month-old dog riding as a passenger in one of the cars died.

Officers did not release the name of the driver. They took him to the hospital for a mental health examination under the Baker Act.

The westbound lanes of the Courtney Campbell Causeway were closed for about two hours overnight but are now open.
