Young Zwolle Man Killed In Fiery Crash Early this morning, a single vehicle crash killed a young man from Zwolle, LA.
Troopers responded to the crash around 3:30 a.m., which occurred on LA Hwy 483, south of LA Hwy 174, in Sabine Parish. The crash involved a Ford pickup, driven by Nick D. Brevelle (W/M 20 yrs). The Ford was northbound on LA Hwy 483 when Brevelle lost control and exited the right side of the roadway. After exiting the roadway, the vehicle vaulted across a creek and collided with an embankment before becoming engulfed in flames.
It is unknown if Brevelle was wearing his seatbelt. He was pronounced dead.
Alcohol is a suspected factor in the crash. Routine toxicology tests are pending. The crash remains under investigation.
Motorists must be reminded that alcohol has many effects on the body. Alcohol can impair visual ability, alter sense of time and space, impair fine motor skills needed to operate a motor vehicle, and decrease reaction times. Just one drink may cause these effects.
