Crystal Stauffer, 28, killed in pedestrian accident while jogging on Northwest 12th in Newton on June 3.

Crystal Stauffer, a physical education teacher at a Newton middle school, has been identified as the pedestrian who died after being struck by a car Tuesday near Newton, the Harvey County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.

Stauffer, 28, is thought to have been out jogging when she was hit about 4 p.m., said Melissa Flavin, spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office.

A vehicle driving west on Northwest 12th, between Meridian and West, struck Stauffer. That’s just west of Newton. The driver, a 40-year-old Halstead woman, was not injured, police said.

Stauffer was taken in critical condition to the Newton Medical Center, where she was later pronounced dead.

Officials with the Newton school district said Stauffer was employed at the district’s Santa Fe 5/6 Center, a middle school.
