A road construction worker died Monday, June 24 after being struck in a Naperville intersection.

Shortly after 10 a.m. Monday, Naperville police and fire personnel were dispatched to South Naper Boulevard and Heatherfield Circle for a traffic crash with injuries. The 911 caller informed the dispatch center that a vehicle had struck a construction worker.

Officers arrived on the scene and determined the construction worker, a subcontractor working on a Naperville project, was not breathing.
