A Stillwater man was killed Friday night in a one-vehicle crash on Interstate 694 in White Bear Lake.

Logan Ray Sovam, 41, was traveling west on I-694 after 9 p.m. when he lost control of his SUV at White Bear Avenue and rolled into the right ditch, coming to rest in the grass next to the on-ramp, the Minnesota State Patrol said.

Sovam wasn't wearing a seat belt, and alcohol was involved, the patrol said. The vehicle's airbag deployed. Road conditions were snowy/icy at the time.

Sovam's passenger, a 34-year-old woman from North St. Paul, was wearing a seat belt and wasn't injured, the patrol said.

White Bear Lake Fire and Rescue and Ramsey County Ambulance also responded.

The crash was among 117 reported from 7:30 p.m. Friday to 7:30 a.m. Saturday, patrol Lt. Gordon Shank tweeted.
