Woman hit with rock in car dies

AP Associated Press

HEFLIN, Ala. — Authorities say a South Carolina woman initially left in critical condition after she was struck by a rock that flew through her windshield when a pickup truck hit a pothole along Interstate 20 near the Alabama-Georgia line Monday has died.

A UAB Hospital spokesman says 33-year-old Jo Maureen Fisher , of Goose Creek, S.C., died Tuesday morning.

Alabama State Troopers say 35-year-old John Fisher was driving east in Cleburne County, four miles west of the state line.

Authorities say that’s when a pickup truck traveling in front of the couple hit the pothole, knocking the rock through Fisher’s car.

Troy Goodman, a UAB Hospital spokesman, says the family wanted people to know that Fisher was an organ donor.
