On-duty school crossing guard in Queens fatally struck by dump truck
A school crossing guard died on duty Friday morning after she was fatally struck by a dump truck in Queens, police said.
The woman who died in the collision was identified as Krystyna Naprawa, 63, according to DC 37, the city employees union that represents crossing guards. Police said Naprawa was standing in a crosswalk at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard at around 8 a.m. when she was struck by a dump truck that was turning right.
“These heroes put their lives on the line for our kids and neighborhoods every day, and today’s tragedy makes that stark fact unavoidable,” said DC 37 Executive Director Henry Garrido in a statement. “This is the third guard struck by a vehicle in just a matter of months — anything over zero is unacceptable.”Emergency responders found Naprawa unresponsive and ultimately pronounced her dead at the scene.
