A June 3 highway accident has killed Carolyn J. Merry, former Ohio State University civil engineering chair and noted remote sensing researcher. She was 63.
Merry's husband Robert K. Redfield confirmed to ENR that tractor-trailer driver Adrian Rogers, whose vehicle slammed into a car driven by Merry on Ohio’s I-71, is set to be in court on July 21 following a not-guilty plea to vehicular homicide charges.
Merry, who had taught at OSU since 1988, was chair of its civil, environmental and geodetic engineering department from 2005 until her 2013 retirement and former director of its Center for Mapping.
