HILLIARD, Ohio — An elementary school crossing guard died Thursday morning after police said she pushed a student from the path of an oncoming dump truck about 9 a.m. on Scioto Darby Road outside Scioto Darby Elementary School.

According to witnesses, Diane Sharp was helping students cross the street when she and another student were struck by a dump truck.

Hilliard Police Chief Rodney Garnett said Sharp saved the life of the second-grade boy. "It's my understanding that she saw the truck coming and either shielded him, or tried to push him out of the way," Garnett said. "He's still here and she's not."

"I believe that she saved his life, yes," Garnett said.
