Authorities are now identifying a crossing guard who died as the result of a traffic accident in Ventura County.
Susan Burk of Simi Valley was working at the intersection of Los Angeles and Socrates Avenues in Simi Valley Tuesday afternoon when there was a three vehicle collision. One of the vehicles hit the 62 year old woman, who wasn’t in the street at the time.
She died a short time later at a hospital. Burk was set to work the intersection for kids leaving Arroyo Elementary School. The accident happened before students had been dismissed from classes for the day.
