Hammond, LA : A motorcycle operator was killed in a three-vehicle crash on Saturday, June 17, 2017

The motorcycle operator has been identified as 32-year-old Geza Ray Kovach Jr. of Loranger.
A motorcycle operator was killed in a three-vehicle crash on Interstate 55 two miles north of the Independence exit Saturday shortly before 2 a.m., according to Troop L.
The preliminary crash scene investigation led troopers to determine that a 2005 Kawasaki motorcycle traveling northbound on Interstate 55 crashed due to tire failure and was hit by a 1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo driven by Kenney Ray Rogers, 52, of Magnolia, Mississippi. The motorcycle operator was struck by a 2012 Kia driven by Sherry Lynn May, 36, of Bogue Chitto, Mississippi.
Rogers and May were uninjured in the crash. The parish coroner's office pronounced the motorcyclist dead at the scene.
Impairment is not suspected to have been a contributing factor, state police said.
