Jahsani Jean-Baptiste

Pursuit

At 12:34 a.m., an officer was patrolling near the I-64 and I-464 interchange when a 2016 Chrysler 200 sped past with its headlights off. The officer attempted to stop the other, and it stopped briefly before speeding away on I-64 East. At 12:47 a.m., eastbound traffic on I-64 at the 299 mile marker had slowed due to a prior traffic crash, and travel was restricted to one lane. The Chrysler was unable to brake in time and struck a 2005 Honda Accord in the rear, causing the Honda to strike the other in front of it. The impact of the crashes caused the Honda to catch fire and become fully engulfed, killing the Honda's driver, Jahsani Jean-Baptiste, and injuring the driver and passenger of the other it struck.
