Two people killed and six others injured after being hit by a vehicle on a busy New Orleans thoroughfare, authroities say.
New Orlean Police Department officers process the scene at a fatal hit and run accident along Esplanade Avenue in Bayou St. John in New Orleans, Saturday, March 2, 2019. The incident happened not far from the Endymion parade, one of the city's biggest Mardi Gras parades.
Police Superintendent Shaun Ferguson told local media that a suspect is in custody following the incident that happened about 8 p.m. Saturday along a multiple-block stretch of Esplanade Ave. “We were able to apprehend the subject so quickly because citizens stopped this individual, because they thought they were helping someone who had just been involved in a one-car accident,” Ferguson said.
“It just happened there were people there - bicyclists,” Barrymore said. Barrymore said he saw two women and one man get struck. He said he went to help but it quickly became apparent that one of the women and the man didn’t survive.
