Motorcyclist Killed in Beauregard Parish Crash

Archived as originally published. Information reflects the date of this article.

 A motorcyclist was ejected from his motorcycle and killed in a single-vehicle accident Saturday on Hwy 190 in Beauregard Parish, according to Louisiana State Police.

Troopers from Louisiana State Police Troop D were notified of a single-vehicle fatal crash on US Hwy 190 just west of Eaves Loop on July 24 at approximately 9 a.m., said Troop D spokesperson Derek Senegal. The crash claimed the life of 38-year-old Cody Wayne Marler of Merryville.

The initial investigation revealed a 2014 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, operated by Marler, was traveling west on US Hwy 190, Senegal said. Marler failed to negotiate a left hand curve, ran off the roadway and entered a ditch. As a result, Marler was ejected from the motorcycle.

Maler, who was not wearing a DOT-approved helmet, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Impairment is unknown, but a toxicology sample was obtained from Marler and submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation, Senegal said.
