The husband of a woman struck and killed by a fire truck is suing the fire department and one of its firefighters.
A lawsuit seeking at least $50,000 has been filed on behalf of Paul L. Riehm, administrator of the estate of Lorri J. Riehm, in Seneca County Common Pleas Court against Green Springs Rural Volunteer Fire Department and Seth T. Knieriemen of Green Springs, court records state.
Lorri Riehm, 53, of Tiffin, died after being struck and run over by a grass truck driven by Knieriemen at Beaver Creek Reservoir in June.
Seneca County Prosecutor Derek DeVine had said Seneca County Prosecutor’s Office reviewed the investigation and determined no criminal charges were appropriate for filing. No drugs or alcohol were involved, and the driving wasn’t determined to be reckless, he said.
