Two Killed in Collision at Thibodaux

Marion AYO, 20, Dies Following Accident

Marion AYO, 20, young white man of Thibodaux and Junius FRY, 20, negro, of the 
Webb plantation were killed in a collision two miles north of Thibodaux at 1 
p.m. Sunday afternoon.
According to Dr. C. J. Barker, coroner of Lafourche parish, the reports he 
heard indicated that the car driven by AYO, which was traveling toward 
Thibodaux swerved in the road, and when attempting to avoid hitting a telephone 
pole, turned broadside striking the car driven by FRY which was proceeding in 
the opposite direction.
Several Injured. Besides the two killed, Edward AYO and Norman and Newton 
BOUDREAUX, passengers in the AYO car and all of Thibodaux were slightly 
injured.  They are expected to be recovered sufficiently to leave the Thibodaux 
hospital Tuesday and return to their homes.
In the negro's car there were five other negroes, two of whom were taken to New 
Orleans for treatment.  The other negroes were not seriously injured.
The names of the negroes were not known.
