A Zwolle man is dead after crashing his pick-up early this morning along a Sabine Parish road.

It happened on Highway 483, just south of Highway 174, about 3:30 a.m. this morning.

State Police say 20-year-old Nick Brevelle was traveling northbound when he lost control and left the road.

He vaulted across a creek, hit an embankment, and his truck burst into flames.

Brevelle was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say alcohol is a suspected factor in the crash.

It's not known whether Brevelle was wearing a seatbelt.

The crash remains under investigation.
