Rear-End Crash Claims Life of Texas Man

Delta – On Monday, October 12, 2020, shortly after 8:00 p.m., Louisiana State Police Troop F responded to a crash on Interstate 20 near milepost 182 in Madison Parish. This crash claimed the life of a man from Fort Worth, TX.

The initial investigation revealed a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by 41-year-old Nathan Ribelin of Fort Worth, TX, was traveling eastbound on Interstate 20. For reasons still under investigation, the Silverado rear-ended a 1999 International 18-wheeler that was stopped for traffic. After impact, the International 18-wheeler struck the rear of a 2008 Ford F-350 that was also stopped. Ribelin, who was properly restrained, was transported to a local hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.

A toxicology sample was obtained and submitted for analysis. The crash remains under investigation.

In 2020, Troop F has investigated 38 fatal crashes resulting in 40 deaths.
