[MAIL] An 88-year-old school crossing guard has been killed while saving two young boys from a distracted driver in Kansas. Bob Nill, who was affectionately known as 'Mr Bob, died when a car careened into him around 8am Tuesday morning while he was protecting young children on the crossing in front of Christ the King Parish School in Kansas City.
The black sedan plowed straight into Nill, known fondly among the local children as 'Mr. Bob', as he saved the two boys, aged 11 and 7, pushing them out of its path, officials said.
Nill, a Coast Guard veteran, was taken to the hospital where he died of his injuries.
