Burlington woman dies of injuries suffered in Boone County wreck last week
A Burlington woman has died after being injured in a traffic crash last week.
Brianna Pyles, 19, died at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center on Oct. 7 from injuries she suffered in the wreck three days earlier, the Hamilton County Coroner's Office reported Monday.
The Boone County Sheriff's Department said in a news release last week that Pyles was a passenger in a 2015 Subaru WRX traveling north on Interstate 75 at about 12:05 a.m. Oct. 4 when the driver, 21-year-old Corbin Adams of Dry Ridge, stopped his car for an unknown reason in the left lane just over a hillcrest.
A 2018 Freightliner semitractor-trailer hauling two trailers driven by 40-year-old Larry Cox of Salvisa, Kentucky, then rear-ended Adams’ car, the release said.
The release said the impact forced both vehicles across all the northbound lanes of the interstate, and they came to a stop in the right emergency lane, still in contact with each other.
Everyone was wearing a seatbelt.
The sheriff's department is investigating the crash and no charges have been filed, last week's release said.
The Enquirer has reached out to the sheriff's department to see whether investigators know why Adams stopped his car and whether any charges have been filed.
