On June 29, 1967, Mansfield, her lawyer Sam Brody, her driver Ronnie Harrison and Mansfield's three children, Miklós, Zoltán, and Mariska, left Biloxi, Mississippi for New Orleans. Around 2:25 a.m., near the Rigolets Bridge east of New Orleans, the car plowed into the back of a tractor-trailer (which it could not see as a mosquito truck, ahead of the trailer, was spraying and caused a dense fog) and slid underneath the trailer. The three adults in the front seat were killed instantly. The children survived with minor injuries. As a result of the accident, tractor-trailers are now equipped with bars to prevent a similar accident; the bars are called Mansfield bars.

(Contrary to the urban legend, Mansfield was not decapitated in the accident; what appeared to be her scalp was a wig.)
