A man died in a car accident late Saturday after a police chase, Louisiana state police reports.

The 25-year-old man was being pursued by a marked patrol car for an alleged speeding violation and failure to yield when he lost control of his Chevy Caprice at 8:20pm.

He drove his car too fast into a right hand curve on State Highway 2 west of State Highway 152 when he lost control of the vehicle, reports said. The car went into the ditch on the shout side of the road and rolled over many times before finally coming to rest upside down. He was not wearing his seat belt and was partially ejected from the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

State police are investigating the accident. It is still unknown at this time if he was impaired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol pending toxicology tests.
