WEST CHESTER, Ohio (AP) - A woman who was among several utility workers hurt when a vehicle struck them at a southwest Ohio work site last month has died of her injuries.
Ron Brotherton of traffic control company Area Wide Protective confirmed Monday the death of employee Amber Marie Rooks. The 24-year-old Norwood, Ohio, woman died over the weekend in a Cincinnati hospital.
Police said a car crossed over the center line on a busy road in the northern Cincinnati suburb of West Chester on April 22 and hit four workers next to a utility truck installing new power lines. Another injured worker was in a utility vehicle’s bucket installing lines.
Police say charges are pending in the case.
Duke Energy has said the injured workers were employees of subcontractors.
