The initial investigation by State Police revealed that the crash occurred as Geter was riding a 2003 Kawasaki motorcycle eastbound on LA Hwy 22. As Geter approached a right hand curve, for unknown reasons he ran off the roadway to the left. Upon doing so the motorcycle went through a fence and came to rest in a field.

Despite the fact that he was wearing a safety helmet, Geter suffered serious injuries as a result of the crash. He was transported from the scene to North Oaks Hospital in Livingston where he succumbed to injuries received. Impairment is unknown at this time; however, a toxicology sample was taken from Geter and submitted to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for analysis.

Troopers urge motorcyclists of all ages and experience levels to take extra precautions while riding and ensure that they are properly prepared and trained for a variety of riding conditions. Through participation in certified training programs, riders are educated on safe riding practices such as being visible, dressing for safety, applying effective riding strategies, and knowing the capabilities and limitations of their motorcycle. Motorcyclists are taught how to apply these safety practices to not only avoid being involved in a crash but to greatly reduce the chance of injury should a crash occur.
