ST. MARTINVILLE, La. (KPEL) -- State Police say one person is dead following a Tuesday night crash just north of St. Martinville.

Louisiana State Police Troop I spokesman Stephen Hammons says 27-year-old Janual Wiltz of Breaux Bridge was driving on Hwy. 137 just after 8:30 p.m. Hammons says Wiltz crossed the road and drove off the left side, hitting a ditch, and then overturning.

Hammons says Wiltz was not wearing a seatbelt, and he was ejected from the car. He was pronounced dead at the scene by the St. Martin Parish coroner.

Routine toxicology samples were taken, Hammons says, and the crash remains under investigation.
