Officers said the crash happened near West Gulf Bank near Antoine around 8:20 p.m.
According to investigators, a woman, who has been identified as 28-year-old Lohortenes Sanders, was speeding through the red light after she hit a parked car. That’s when the victim’s car was struck, police said.
Police said the 52-year-old woman was thrown out of the vehicle and at some point, became pinned under it.
Police said a witness told them Sanders had an argument with someone in a nearby apartment complex. When the passenger exited Sanders’ blue-colored Mercury Grand Marquis, police said Sanders drove erratically through the complex and then drove eastbound on West Gulf Bank Road. A witness told investigators Sanders ran the red light at the Antoine intersection and was struck by a gold-colored Chevrolet Malibu. Police said the driver of the Malibu died at the scene. Sanders was transported to an area hospital with minor injuries, officers said.
