DUTCHTOWN, La. - A 21-year-old Gonzales resident died in a two-vehicle crash on LA Hwy 74 near Bluff Rd. shortly before 6:45 p.m. Saturday, according to Louisiana State Police Tpr. Jared Sandifer.

Sandifer says Adam Lambert was driving a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer eastbound on LA Hwy 74 when he failed to negotiate a left hand curve near Bluff Rd. Lambert's Mitsubishi crossed the centerline into the westbound lane and struck a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse head-on.

Lambert was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and sustained fatal injuries from the crash, according to Sandifer.
