EAST FELICIANA PARISH, LA — A Clinton man who wasn't wearing his seatbelt was killed in a single vehicle crash.
On March 5 at around 1:30 p.m., Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop A began investigating a single vehicle fatal crash that occurred on LA Hwy 67 south of LA Hwy 432 in East Feliciana Parish.
