State police say a 22-year-old Vacherie man who was thrown from a four-wheeler and lying on a highway was run over by a car and killed.

Mahler westbound in a drainage ditch that runs along the north side of Louisiana Highway 10 near Kentwood Saturday when he hit a culvert in the ditch, flipped the Cam-Am he was driving and was thrown, landing in the westbound lane of Highway 10.
