Just after ten o’clock Friday night a woman driving a car on the Crescent City Connection bridge rear ended the car in front of her, setting off the two car crash that ultimately claimed her life.

The woman killed in the crash was 21-year-old Nadia Tims of New Orleans.


Initial investigation revealed that Tims was driving a 2016 Nissan Altima east on the Crescent City Connection bridge in the right center lane.

At the same time, a 2007 Ford Edge was also driving east on the Crescent City Connection bridge in the right center lane, ahead of the Nissan.

For reasons still under investigation, as both vehicles continued east, the Nissan carrying Tims rear ended the Ford.

Tims, who was unrestrained at the time of the crash, suffered severe injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

Tims later succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The driver of the Ford suffered moderate injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
