LIVINGSTON - Troopers identified a motorcyclist who died on the scene of a crash early Thursday morning. 

The crash happened on Highway 444 and South Frost Road. Louisiana State Police said Jeremy Herrin, 46, was driving westbound on LA-444. At the same time, a Nissan traveling eastbound was making a left turn on LA-63. The Nissan failed to yield to Herrin's oncoming motorcycle, and Herrin collided with the passenger side of the Nissan. 

Herrin was ejected from his bike. Despite wearing a helmet, Herrin was pronounced dead on the scene. 

"Troopers wish to remind motorists to always make good decisions while in a motor vehicle," LSP said. "Never drive impaired, fatigued, or distracted; follow all traffic laws, and always ensure every occupant is properly restrained. Additionally, when riding motorcycles, utilizing proper safety equipment, such as DOT-approved helmets can decrease the chances of traumatic brain injury. "
