Earlie Harris Obituary, Death – A woman tragically lost her life after a wrench came through the windshield of her car on Interstate 65 in Alabama. The incident occurred on August 8, and the victim was identified as 58-year-old Earlie Harris, according to a report by WSFA, as cited by USA Today.
Cedric, Harris’s son, recounted the harrowing experience to WSFA, stating, “All of a sudden, something flew through the window. I ducked down and looked up, and my mom was bleeding, and I pulled off the interstate.” Despite the quick arrival of first responders, it was determined that Harris had already succumbed to her injuries.
The family believes that the wrench may have fallen from a truck driving on the interstate that day. To find answers and seek justice, they have engaged Beasley Allen Law Firm. The firm and the family are urging the public to provide any information that might assist in the ongoing investigation, as reported by USA Today.
In a statement posted on social media, Beasley Allen Law Firm described the tragic event: “A huge metal object/wrench went through the windshield, killing our client as she traveled southbound. We are offering a reward for the positive ID of the northbound driver responsible for the metal object/wrench.” This statement highlights the firm’s commitment to identifying the source of the wrench and holding the responsible party accountable.
Attorney LaBarron Boone, representing Beasley Allen Law, spoke with WSFA about the incident. He suggested that other drivers might have seen the wrench fall onto the road but did not stop, as it did not affect them directly. Boone expressed the gravity of the situation, emphasizing that while the wrench did not cause harm to those drivers, it tragically resulted in the death of Earlie Harris, whom he described as “an unbelievable servant.”
The investigation into this tragic accident is ongoing, with authorities seeking to gather more information about the circumstances leading to Harris’s death. The family and their legal representatives hope that someone who witnessed the event or has relevant information will come forward to aid in the investigation. The goal is to identify the truck from which the wrench may have fallen, thereby providing some measure of closure and justice for Harris’s grieving family.
