Comments:

Fox, an employee of Troyer Transportation, was driving a truck in the course of his employment when he ran a red light and struck Fink’s car. Fink had to be air lifted to a hospital in Pittsburgh, where he died the next day without regaining consciousness.

Fink was 48-when he died. He was the business manager for a school district in Clarion County and is survived by his wife and two children.

The case was settled for $3 million at a pre-trial conference.
