New Orleans police are investigating a fatal two-vehicle crash on the Twin Span Bridge that injured one driver and claimed the life of another driver.
It happened Thursday morning on I-10 on the bridge’s eastbound span to Slidell.
Police say two vehicles were involved in the crash. A female driver was taken to the hospital, where she died from her injuries. A male driver was also taken to the hospital, but his condition is unknown.
“At about 2:26 a.m., NOPD Seventh District officers were notified of a vehicle crash with injury at the location. Two subjects - an adult female and an adult male - were transported from the scene via EMS to area hospitals,” says an NOPD report.
The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office is helping in the investigation. NOPD reported the crash at 5:19 a.m. Thursday morning.
The crash had the eastbound bridge span closed for about an hour as police investigated, but the bridge has reopened. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
