The New Orleans Police Department responded to a crash in Lakeview Thursday morning that possibly involved convicted attorney Vanessa Motta‘s mother.
The crash happened near the Mount Carmel Academy and Cub Corner day care gate.
Sources confirm to WDSU that the woman pictured near the crash site is Aura Amelia Motta, Vanessa’s mother.
According to the NOPD, the crash happened around 8:30 a.m. in the 7000 block of Milne Boulevard.
The principal of Cub Corner asked WDSU to leave the scene due to the daycare being private property. The principal did say the incident was an accident.
NOPD did not respond to WDSU’s request about any potential impairment or medical concerns linked to the crash. NOPD also did not confirm if anyone was cited at the scene.
NOPD nor Cub Corner would confirm Aura Motta’s involvement in the crash.
Vanessa Motta was convicted Friday in a wide-ranging staged wrecks scheme. Her sentencing is set for July.
After the verdict, Aura Motta fainted in the courtroom. She was able to recover and walk out of federal court without medical assistance.
