Woman died from head injury, was not run over by sister
DAYTON - A woman dragged by her sister’s car after an apparent fight was not run over and died after hitting her head on pavement, according to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.
Cheryl Satterfield, 45, died Saturday, July 4, from severe head injuries from the fall, Coroner Dr. James Davis said Monday.
Officers responded to the 1200 block of Valley Street about 11:30 a.m. Saturday to find Satterfield unconscious, Lt. Brian Johns said.
Witnesses said Satterfield and her 42-year-old sister got into an argument as part of a days-long dispute between the two women.
The sister was sitting in a 2002 Subaru Forrester when Satterfield punched her through an open window, Johns said. Satterfield grabbed onto the Subaru as the sister tried to flee and was dragged along the pavement before she fell and hit her head, police said.
Satterfield’s sister has not been charged with any crime and it appears Satterfield might have been drinking, Lt. Larry Faulkner said.
Homicide detectives will present the case to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office for possible charges, as is routine in these incidents, Faulkner said.
Police have labeled the incident a vehicular homicide, but Faulkner said he agreed with Johns’ statement that Satterfield’s death appears to be an accident.
