Family Settles Suit in Death of Georgia Worker on Allman Film

November 24, 2014

The family of a film worker who was killed in a train accident while shooting a movie near Savannah has reached a settlement with several defendants in a civil suit.

A statement from the Harris Penn Lowry law firm last week said the settlement in a suit filed by the family of 27-year-old camera assistant Sarah Jones includes Unclaimed Freight Productions Inc., Rayonier Fibers, LLC. and several others.

Greg Allman was dropped from the suit and settled separately with the producer.

Jones was killed the first day of filming for a movie on musician Greg Allman in February and attorneys say the terms of the settlement are confidential.

The statement said CSX railroad and Meddin Studios are still listed as defendants.

Jones’ father, Richard Jones, said his family is continuing to advocate for safety on film sets through the Sarah Jones Film Foundation.
