WAPATO, Wash. - A White Swan man was killed in a single-car accident Friday night, when his 2001 Jeep Wrangler rolled over in a field.

Walter Gabriel Manuel, 50, was driving westbound on West Wapato Road about 10:30 p.m. and apparently lost control while making a left turn onto Brownstown Road, according to a news release from the Washington State Patrol. 

The State Patrol said the Jeep veered off the roadway onto a field, then rolled over, ejecting Manuel. He was not wearing a seatbelt. 

Manuel was pronounced dead at the scene. State Patrol officials said they believe he was driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
