The investigation revealed that Frank Walker IV, (B/M age 41 of Houma, LA) was operating a 2011 Suzuki GSX1300R motorcycle westbound on the Westside Blvd Extension at a high rate of speed when he failed to negotiate a right curve in the roadway. Walker crossed the centerline and traveled off the road striking several small trees and a fence. Walker, who was wearing a US D.O.T. approved helmet at the time of the crash, was pronounced dead on the scene by the Terrebonne Parish Coroner’s Office.

Alcohol use is unknown at this time and routine toxicology tests are pending. This crash remains under investigation.

Troopers remind motorists that driving at high speeds is dangerous, and often leads to serious injuries or death in motor vehicle crashes. Motorcyclists must wear a proper US D.O.T. helmet when operating their motorcycle on Louisiana roadways. Although not all crashes are survivable, properly utilizing safety equipment like approved motorcycle helmets and seatbelts decrease your risk of serious injury or death.

Motorists that witness hazardous situations are urged to call *LSP (*577) and report that activity to the Louisiana State Police.
