A construction worker who was badly injured in a work zone crash has died nearly a month after the accident.

According to a report from WTVG, Bradley Friffitt, 40, died Monday night from injuries sustained after he was struck by a semi truck on September 19.

The driver of the semi truck fell asleep and crashed into a work zone in Maumee, Ohio, on the Anthony Wayne Trail, police told the TV station. The truck first struck a lighted work zone sign before striking Griffitt.

Griffitt was part of a crew with DG Slurry-Seal working on the trail.

No charges have yet been filed against the driver.
