A Lynbrook woman was killed on April 24 after a box truck that was backing up struck her.

According to Lynbrook Police, Stephanie O’Neill, 80, sustained head trauma and internal injuries after being struck by the truck at 11:45 a.m. She was pronounced dead later that afternoon, at 12:53 p.m., at a local hospital.

The crash occurred when a 38-year-old male driver of a 1998 Ford box truck was backing up his truck in front of 30 Daley Place. The driver struck O’Neill, who was walking behind the truck. Nassau County police do not believe any criminality was involved in the crash.

A brake and safety check was performed at the scene, but Nassau County police have not yet received any results from it.
