HERO Worker Struck in Midtown Dies

ATLANTA, GA -- Moses King, the HERO worker who was struck by an allegedly drunk driver last August in Midtown, has died.

The Fulton County Sheriff's Office confirmed King's death to Channel 2 Action News on Tuesday.

Georgia DOT officials say King died from the injuries he sustained in the accident.

Lindsay Clark, 25, is the Fulton County woman charged with DUI and other offenses for the collision which severely injured King.

She is free on bond after posting a $77,500 bond for charges related to the incident on the Downtown Connector which sent King to the hospital with brain and head injuries.

King was on I-75 near 17th Street setting flares to block two lanes of traffic after a previous accident when he was hit by a 2006 Mazda driven by Clark. Clark’s Mazda then smashed into another vehicle, police said.

Clark’s defense lawyer hopes that dashcams on vehicles dispatched to work the original accident were in position to record the incident which injured King.

Clark faces charges of DUI, serious injury by vehicle, reckless driving, improper passing of an emergency vehicle, driving with an expired license plate decal, and improper/erratic lane change, Fulton County jail records show.
