For reasons still under investigation, Besendorfer lost control of the motorcycle, ran off the road to the right and was ejected. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
Besendorfer sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased on the scene.
It is unknown if speed and/or impairment were factors in the crash however, a toxicology test will be performed following an autopsy.
The crash remains under investigation and there is no further information available at this time.
Motorcycle helmets are required by Louisiana law for all riders. The helmet will provide protection for the brain and decrease the chances of traumatic brain injury.
