CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Westbound lanes of the Courtney Campbell Causeway were closed after police and fire rescue said a wrong-way driver flipped his car into the water early Sunday.

Clearwater Police and Fire & Rescue said the driver, 26-year-old Scott Anthony Wolf of Estero, was heading east -- the wrong way -- on the access road on the north side of the causeway when he lost control of the vehicle and flipped into the water. Wolf was driving a 2004 Chrysler Crossfire.

Police said Wolf was pulled from the water by a Pinellas County Sheriff's deputy and was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries. Police later reported that Wolf had died.
