The Jeep left the roadway and struck a ditch, King said.

Owens, a 32-year-old man from Columbus, Mississippi, was not using a seatbelt and was reportedly ejected from his vehicle in the collision. He was pronounced dead at the scene of the wreck.

Corporal King said the crash happened about five miles north of the town of Ethelsville in Pickens County.

No further details were available Saturday morning as Troopers with the ALEA's Highway Patrol Division continue to investigate.
