A pedestrian and a driver were killed in two separate crashes Wednesday night, Louisiana State Police said.

The crash remains under investigation, State Police said.

Two hours later, at about 8 p.m. Wednesday, a 65-year-old Denham Springs man died in a single-vehicle crash, the agency said.

The man was driving a 2003 Dodge Ram north on La.. 63 in East Feliciana, near La. 960, when the truck went off the road to the right and overturned. The driver was thrown from the vehicle and died at the scene, State Police said.

The investigation into the crash is ongoing, the agency said.
