The Oklahoma Highway Patrol identified the victim of Saturday's crash as Anthony Collier, 55, of Hackett, Ark., located just east of the Oklahoma border.

The crash occurred at 9:53 a.m. on Oklahoma Highway 83 three miles east of Monroe in far eastern LeFlore County near the Arkansas border.

Troopers say Collier's 2005 Honda motorcycle was westbound on the highway when a deer ran in front of the vehicle, causing Collier to loose control and overturn. He was thrown about 98 feet from the crash site.

The patrol says he was wearing a helmet.
