State Police is looking for the driver of the vehicle that struck a pedestrian on Interstate 20 in Richland Parish just east of Louisiana Highway 133. The crash claimed the life of 35-year-old Jared Osbon of West Monroe. Trooper Ryan Davis says investigators believe it was a 2021 or newer Ford Super Duty truck that hit him…
“At this point, we’re still following leads, but we are still asking the public if they know or recollect any Ford F250 or F-350 traveling through that area.”
Davis says it’s likely the truck that struck Osbon sustained damage to the left front headlight assembly and grill.
“If we have anyone with recollection of a damaged Ford traveling through the Start area, which was I-20 eastbound at milepost 132, we’re asking for feedback from our citizens so we can close this case
Pedestrians should stay clear of interstates, including walking on the shoulder, median, and crossing lanes along the roadway. Davis emphasized when walking along roads be sure there is a sidewalk…
“…and when doing so they should always face traffic, wear bright color clothing and just do your due diligence in being safe.”
The crash is under investigation and Davis urges anyone with information on this crash to contact Louisiana State Police – Troop F at 318-345-0000.
