Tampa police are investigating a crash Monday that killed a driver when their vehicle struck a pylon attached to the Selmon Expressway.

The cause of the crash is still unknown, the Tampa Police Department wrote in a news release Monday morning.

About 1 a.m. Monday, Tampa police officers responded to the scene at Gandy Boulevard and Bridge Street. Officers closed the inside lanes of east and west Gandy Boulevard. All lanes reopened after 5 a.m.

Police have not released the name of the driver.

The crash occurred less than two days after a Tampa man was killed in a motorcycle crash on the Pinellas County side of Gandy Boulevard Saturday.

Spend management startup SiFi raises $10M to grow further in Saudi Arabia
The global spend management sector is experiencing a tailwind of sorts. Indeed, the space is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10.3% by 2030, per Grand View Research, and adoption in other regions like the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is expected to pick up as companies increasingly adopt expense management tools to get a clearer picture of where their money is going. Saudi Arabia-based Simplified Financial Solutions Company (SiFi), one such spend management platform in the MENA region, has now raised $10 million in a seed funding round to double down on its growth plans in its home market.
