Covington Car Accident Claims Two Lives

Staff Writer — Wed, 03 May 2006 14:06:34 GMT

Two men were killed early Saturday morning in Covington when the driver lost control of his sports car and crashed into a tree along Jahncke Avenue. Authorities are still investigating the crash but estimate the vehicle was traveling between 80 and 100 miles per hour in a 25mph zone when the accident occurred.

According to the Times-Picayune:

A 2001 Ford Mustang Cobra driven by John Marino IV, 25, crashed into a tree on the lawn of St. Paul's School near a curve in the street Saturday about 2:30 a.m., Covington police said. Passenger Earl Carr III, 28, was pronounced dead at the scene, and Marino died later Saturday at St. Tammany Parish Hospital.

Jahncke Avenue is much like magazine street here in New Orleans: a quaint little street with lots of curves and bumps. Certainly not a place you would expect an accident with multiple deaths.

A vehicle crashed into a home on Jefferson Avenue in New Orleans around 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday evening, creating a huge hole in the home’s front wall.

According to police, no one was injured. Patrick Gendusa, who rents the downstairs area of the house, said he was watching television on his couch when he heard the loud crash.

He said after the accident the driver of the vehicle was conscious and talking.

Gendusa said, the vehicle that crashed into the house had been driving erratically prior to the incident happening.

“For a block, he hit a car, nearly took down a gate, pulled through the yard and tore into the house. The brick wall stopped him because he didn’t skid and try to stop the vehicle.”

The accident is still being investigated. The homeowners were notified of the incident.
