DENHAM SPRINGS mdash; A crossing guard died after being hit by a vehicle at a Denham Springs elementary school on Thursday afternoon, according to authorities.nbsp;Crossing guard Katy Wells was on duty after school at Gray's Creek Elementary when she was hit by a truck driving northwest on Hwy. 16, a Livingston Parish Schools spokesperson said. She died as a result of the crash.nbsp;Deputies arrested Darren Goudeau, 64, of Walker. He was booked into the Livingston Parish Detention Center on charges of vehicular homicide and DWI.nbsp;The school system said Wells has worked for it and the sheriff's office for 40 years, and was most recently a crossing guard for Gray's Creek Elementary and Seventh Ward Elementary.nbsp;"She was a true servant to her community and she will be deeply missed. The Livingston Parish Public School System asks for prayers and support for Mrs. Wellsrsquo; family and the many community members that she has touched over the years.""This is a devastating loss for our community. She was loved. She was more than a crossing guard. She took great pride in protecting our children," Ard said, offering prayers to Wells' family.nbsp;"When we think of community service, Katy defined it. Her kindness, her dedication, and her presence at our schools made a lasting impact on countless families, students, and colleagues. She stood as a symbol of care, safety, and selflessness every single day," Livingston Parish President Randy Delatte said. "Our hearts are heavy as we mourn this tremendous loss."Permalink| Comments ...read more read less
