According to Kenner officers, around 2:30 a.m. they witnessed a gold Honda Pilot driving eastbound in the 2200 block of Airline Highway in a “very aggressive manner.”
They add that the driver appeared to be involved in an argument or possible road rage with the driver of a Ford Mustang.
Kenner officers said they attempted to pull the Honda over but the driver reportedly drove off leading them on a pursuit. The Honda then turned north onto Taylor Street at high speed.
The chase ended when the driver crossed the eastbound lane of West Metairie at the corner of Taylor, launched over the curb and west Metairie canal, crashing into the canal bank.
Kenner police said they pulled the driver from the Honda as smoke was coming from the engine and began doing CPR. The Kenner Fire Department and East Jefferson EMS responded and transported the man to a hospital where he later died from his injuries.
Kenner PD is asking any witness of the incident to call the Traffic Division at 504-712-2200. They are also searching for the driver of the Ford Mustang.
The Jefferson Parish coroner will release the driver’s identity after an autopsy is done and the family is notified.
The crash remains under investigation.
