A Waskom man driving a pick-up truck died in a crash on Hwy. 169 this evening, said Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator.

The crash was reported just before 8 p.m. on Hwy. 169 South just south of Devers Road. Lt. Ondray Miles said the driver was driving southbound when he ran off the road to the lefthand side, hit a tree, and landed on a ditch on Hwy. 169 North. 

Lt. Miles said the driver was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. He was transported to Ocshner LSU Health where he died. A three-year-old child who was also in the vehicle did not appear to be harmed. 

Identifications of those involved will be released by the Caddo Parish Coroner.
