Two women were rescued from a submerged vehicle that crashed into a Kenner canal Thursday night, according to Kenner police. The victims, ages 58 and 60, were taken to a hospital where they were in critical condition Friday, said Capt. Michael Cunningham, a spokesperson for the Kenner Police Department. The crash occurred about 8:40 p.m. near the intersection of Chateau Boulevard and Ronson Drive (map). The women were headed south on Chateau in a Honda Accord, Cunningham said. For reasons still under investigation, the driver crashed through a metal barrier just south of Ronson Drive and into the canal, Cunningham said.
