LSP officials said troopers responded to the crash on Louisiana Highway 307 near Sanchez Road around 2 p.m.
According to the LSP, an initial investigation shows that a Jeep heading east on LA Hwy 307 stopped to wait for traffic to pass before turning into a driveway while 52-year-old Richard Billiot was riding a motorcycle behind it.
LSP officials said the Jeep began to turn left into the driveway when the motorcycle tried to pass in a designated passing zone before hitting the Jeep’s driver’s side door.
Billiot suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. LSP officials said he was wearing an approved helmet at the time of the crash.
Troopers said the driver of the Jeep suffered minor injuries and was wearing a seatbelt.
According to the LSP, a routine toxicology sample was taken from Billiot, and the driver of the Jeep “voluntarily submitted to a breath sample, which showed no alcohol detected.”
The investigation is ongoing.
