WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (WGHP) — A worker was hurt in a crash in Winston-Salem earlier this month and died on Friday, according to a Winston-Salem Police Department news release.
Officers say they were called about a crash that involved a pedestrian on Carver School Road on Sept. 5.
At the scene, they found the car and pedestrian.
The pedestrian, Catlin Edward Fausnet, 38, of North Wilkesboro had serious injuries and was taken to the hospital where he died last week.
