According to investigating troopers, on April 22, 2011, at 8:00 p.m., 76-year-old Minos Baudoin of Abbeville, LA, was driving a 2000 Toyota passenger car south on John Hardy Drive approaching LA 3267.

Baudoin failed to stop at a 2-way stop sign and entered the path of Labit’s vehicle. The front of Labit’s vehicle struck the driver side of Baudoin’s vehicle, which caused Baudoin’s vehicle to travel off the roadway and come to rest. Labit’s vehicle came to rest in the road. Baudoin, who was unrestrained, died as a result of his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Vermilion Parish Coroner. Labit, who was wearing a seatbelt, sustained only moderate injuries in the crash and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
