(Harrison, Oh.) - A man has been charged with vehicular homicide for running over a woman in the parking lot of a Harrison convenience store.

Dorothy Bingle, 67, was walking in the parking lot of the United Dairy Farmers store on State Street on Monday, July 22 when Omar B. Reinier Jr. was backing his vehicle out of a parking spot.

Reinier allegedly ran over Bingle, who later died at the hospital. A coroner determined Bingle died of blunt impact to the head, torso and extremities.

Just moments before Reinier's vehicle backed over Bingle, he had held the door to the convenience store for her.

On Wednesday, Hamilton County prosecutors formally charged Reinier with Vehicular Homicide and Vehicular Manslaughter. The 52-year-old is scheduled to be arraigned in Hamilton County Municipal Court Friday afternoon.

After more than two months of wondering, Bingle’s daughter, Liz Canterbury, is glad to see Reinier has been charged.

“My attorney got a copy of the video and immediately stated that it was not freak. He didn’t look before he backed up. She was already walking across the lot before he decided to back up,” Canterbury told Eagle Country 99.3.

Bingle lived in Bright at the time of her death, but had previously been a resident of Harrison for 30 years, Canterbury said.
