PRAIRIEVILLE — A man died in a one-car crash Tuesday evening on Interstate 10 in Ascension Parish when his BMW left the highway and struck several trees in the median, said Russell Graham, a spokesman for State Police Troop A.
Witnesses said the man, whose name was not released late Tuesday pending notification of family, had been speeding and weaving in and out of eastbound traffic on I-10, Graham said.
The crash occurred near the Ascension-East Baton Rouge parish line around 8 p.m., when the car ran off the highway onto the median and began to rotate, striking several trees, Graham said.
Investigators believe speed and alcohol use were factors in the crash, Graham said.
The car had a California license plate, he said.
