Officials of Hawker Beechcraft Corporation have met with the family of a striking machinist who was struck by a car and killed on his way to a rally.
Jeff Hart died yesterday. He was running across Greenwich Road early in the morning when he was hit by a pickup truck. No charges have been filed.
In a statement released today, Hawker Beechcraft said a Human Resources representative and Hart's supervisor met with his family yesterday. The Human Resources representative told the family the company had fully restored Hart's benefits, including life insurance.
A Hawker Beechcraft spokesperson said machinists that went out on strike, like Hart, have their benefits suspended.
In addition, machinists and HBC employees began collecting donations from across the company to support the Hart family.
A celebration of Hart's life will be held Thursday at 1:00 p.m. at Countryside Christian Church, 1919 S. Rock Road.
