Aubrey McClendon, the larger-than-life co-founder of
Chesapeake Energy Corp. who was a leader of the American oil and gas
renaissance, died yesterday in a fiery car crash, less than a day after
the Justice Department announced he had been indicted on federal
antitrust charges.
McClendon was at the wheel of a 2013 Chevy Tahoe that crossed the
center line of a road in Oklahoma City and crashed into a bridge support
just after 9 a.m. local time yesterday, Capt. Paco Balderrama of the
Oklahoma City Police Department said in a videotaped news conference.
The Tahoe was engulfed in flames (E&ENews PM, March 2).
"He pretty much drove straight into the wall," Balderrama said.
"There was plenty of opportunity for him to correct or get back on the
road, and that didn't occur." MORE
