Shawnee County Sheriffs continue to investigate a car accident that killed a young man Saturday night.

Shawnee County Sheriffs say a 20-year-old from Silver Lake went off the roadway just after 11PM at the 4100 block of Northwest Hoch road causing his vehicle to roll.

Sheriffs say it does not appear the young man was wearing a seatbelt; he was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.

It is unclear if speed or alcohol were factors in the crash that continues to be investigated.

The name of the man is expected to be released in the morning.

umm this was about a young man that was killed in an accident this has nothing to do with that?? I am not really sure why you are saying this. It was a very sad day when that young man died he was a good friend of our family but I think that we all know that death is apart of life and we have to take comfort and know that he is in heaven and that when people leave us they are all going to a better place we can hope

I think that it's really sad when all you hear about is people dying in the news. I wish that there can be less deaths, and more good news, but I doubt that that will ever happen. I can't believe that that 11 year-old was killed in a car accident. She won't ever get to graduate from High School get married or have a happy, successful life because now she's dead. I think that if it was up to me, then there should be more good news going on in the world. I love getting up everyday and watching 13 news, but I hate hearing about bad news. I can only hope that in the near future there can be less bad news and more good news. 13 News ROCKS!!!!
