ST. MARY PARISH, La. (KLFY) – A Baldwin man died on Saturday after being involved in a crash.
Louisiana State Police say the crash happened on US 90 Eastbound Frontage Road just west of Louisiana Highway 83 in Franklin. The crash claimed the life of 40-year-old Remus Tardy of Baldwin.
Authorities say the preliminary investigation revealed that Tardy was driving a 2002 Lincoln Town Car east on US 90 Eastbound Frontage Road. For reasons still under investigation, the Lincoln traveled off the roadway to the right. Tardy attempted to regain control by steering left, but overcorrected causing the Lincoln to overturn.
Tardy, who was unrestrained at the time of the crash, was partially ejected, sustained fatal injuries, and died at the scene. A passenger, who was also unrestrained, was transported to a nearby hospital with moderate injuries.
As part of the ongoing investigation, routine toxicology samples were obtained for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.
