20-year-old IU Junior Nathaniel Stratton was struck and killed by a drunk driver as he was riding a scooter last year. His family and friends hope the driver is held accountable.
BLOOMINGTON — Family members and loved ones gathered at Indiana University to remember the life of Nate Stratton.
20-year-old IU Junior Nathaniel Stratton was riding an electric scooter in the early morning hours of Sept. 18, 2022.Nate was taken to a local hospital after the crash but died from his injuries. The driver, 22-year-old Madelyn Howard of Crown Point, was later arrested in connection with his death.
Ceci says although today was about honoring her brother, the Stratton family also wants to raise awareness about driving under the influence and how one poor decision can shatter lives forever. “There are no excuses for what’s happened here. My family faces the consequences of her actions every day,” Ceci said. “We have to endure the enormous amounts of pain on the daily as we traverse through holidays and family celebrations. Celebrations have turned into a reflection on what it would be like if he was still here.”“It’s only by doing this that drunk driving is going to be diminished in this country. People don’t see it as criminal, they see it as an accident,” Ceci said.
Nate’s parents, Brad and Elizabeth, also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Howard and Kilroy’s Sports Bar.Howard’s next court appearance is a Pretrial Conference scheduled for Dec. 18.
