Saw a headline that there was a crash on Nicholson near U Club/Lexington with a fatality. Anybody know what happened?

I live right there. Don’t have firm details on how it happened but 2 fatalities and one (???) critical condition. Helicopter was here to transport survivor to hospital.

Think someone was tying to pass multiple cars and didn’t make it back in their lane in time.

The sound of the accident was enormous. People on golf course could here it.

Saw it as I was turning into my neighborhood. One vehicle was engulfed in flames.

Saw the helicopter drop in from the house. Very eerie scene.

It happened right before I got to it. Couldn’t tell what happened but I’m guessing someone crossed the center line. A toyota 4runner was engulfed in flames & what looked like a Mazda suv was crushed on the other side the road. Lots of people were out trying to help but didn’t seem like there was much anyone could do. It was a terrible scene.

Please refer back to your first sentence to answer your question.

Can verify there was a bad wreck and the road was closed off. Had to circle around from River Road and come up the back way to get home a little while ago.

Do we know yet whether the deceased is the reckless driver or the helpless victim they ran into? Really hoping it’s not the victim..

Driver posted a profile pic on feb 19.

One of the comments was asking if he is still in “Next Step”.

Google tells me this is an addiction and rehab program in baton rouge.
