GLENN FALLS, N.Y. (AP) - New York authorities are investigating the death of a Glenn Falls nurse who was struck by a snowplow.
Kristen Stevenson of Queensbury was struck after 5 p.m. near the loading dock at Glens Falls Hospital, the Post Star reported.
Glens Falls Police Chief Joseph Boisclair said a preliminary investigation indicates that Stevenson unknowingly walked behind the snowplow while the vehicle was backing up.
The crash remains under investigation. Glens Falls Hospital spokesperson Ray Agnew said Stevenson, a nurse in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab, started in May 2011 and was loved by all.
Stevenson received the Pritzker Memorial Scholarship Award in 2020.
“Our hearts and prayers go out to her family, friends and colleagues,” Agnew said.
