ST. AMANT, La. (AP) - State police say a 48-year-old Holden man has died after a crash on La. Highway 22 east of La. 937 in Ascension Parish.
Trooper Jared Sandifer says in a news release Lawrence M. Lambert was not wearing a seat belt and suffered fatal injuries.
The wreck occurred about 2:45 a.m. Monday.
Sandifer says Lambert was driving eastbound when his pickup ran off the road, went through a ditch and struck a protection levee, causing it to flip onto its roof.
Sandifer says excessive speed is considered to be a factor in the crash.
