An Oak Grove man is dead and two others are in the hospital following a one-car wreck in West Carroll Parish.
The accident occurred about 3 p.m. Saturday on Louisiana 585.
Passenger Mitchell Dye, 50, address unavailable, was taken to a hospital in Oak Grove, where he died, said Trooper 1st Class Mark Dennis of the Louisiana State Police.
The driver, Christopher Butler, 31, of Pioneer, and Corey Lovell, 21, of Lake Providence, Dennis said, were taken to St. Francis Medical Center in Monroe. A hospital spokesman confirmed this morning the two had been admitted, but did not know their conditions.
