An 18-year-old Slidell resident died in a single-vehicle crash early Saturday morning.
Louisiana State Police says Helgin Tian was driving a 2004 Chevy van on U.S. 190 and for reasons still unknown, struck the guard rail near Cross Creek Drive in St. Tammany Parish shortly after 3 a.m..
Tian was not wearing a seat belt.
"Tian was pronounced deceased on the scene," said State Police Troop L spokesman Trooper William Huggins. " A routine toxicology sample was obtained from Tian for analysis as part of the ongoing investigation."
