Pedestrian Killed By Falling Debris From Construction Site

The city Department of Buildings issued a stop work order Wednesday, after a woman was struck and killed by a piece of flying plywood in Greenwich Village on Tuesday evening. The incident took place at around 6 p.m. Tuesday at West 12th Street near Seventh Avenue. As CBS2’s Valerie Castro reported, the 37-year-old woman — identified as Trang Thuy “Tina” Nguyen — was talking on her cellphone when a 4-foot-by-8-foot piece of green plywood from a section of fencing around a nearby construction site came loose due to blasting winds.
