A beloved New Jersey crossing guard was struck and killed by a car after selflessly pushing two children out of harm’s way, according to witnesses and local authorities.

Crossing guard Jean Schultz, 80, was helping two children cross the street in Woodland Park when a vehicle suddenly struck them just after 3:30 p.m. on Monday, according to the Passaic County Prosecutors’ Office and Mayor Tracy Kallert.

Schultz was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead, prosecutors said.
