BISMARCK (AP) — The widow of a man who was killed while working on an oil rig in western North Dakota has filed a wrongful death lawsuit in federal court.

The lawsuit said Larry Due was installing floor plates on the rig floor when he was crushed by a bridle line and equalizer.
Kathryne Due is seeking unspecified damages.
