Livingston, MT (August 30, 2024) – A motorcyclist from Livingston is dead after a two-vehicle collision on U.S. Highway 10 westbound near Livingston Thursday afternoon, August 29, according to Montana Highway Patrol. A 27-year-old Livingston man drove a Chevy Silverado west, while a 34-year-old man rode his Yamaha motorcycle east. A Montana Highway crash report notes the Chevy Silverado turned left onto Cokedale Road in front of the motorcyclist.
Both vehicles collided in the intersection. Officials transported the motorcyclist to Livingston Health Care, where he was flown to Billings Clinic. He was later pronounced dead at the medical center. However, the incident remains under investigation, and no additional information has been disclosed.

Motorcycle Crash Reports in Montana
On an annual basis, nearly 5,000 motorcyclists are killed in collisions, with more than 80% of all motorcycle crashes resulting in an injury or fatality to one of the persons involved. Unsurprisingly, these incidents are much more serious than typical vehicle collisions because there is minimal protection for motorcycle riders from severe, often fatal, injuries that are caused by the inattentive drivers of much larger vehicles or trucks. Considering the lack of airbags and seatbelts to support motorcyclists in the event of an accident, it’s unfortunately common to see victims sustain life-threatening injuries or fatal wounds as a result.
