Melville,NY : Mother killed and daughter injured in Lindenhurst crash on may, sunday 14th 2017

On the day set aside to honor mothers, a Lindenhurst woman gave her own life to save her daughter’s Sunday morning when she was hit by an out-of-control car just after pushing the teenager from the path of the vehicle, Suffolk police said.

“I have no doubt that she saved her daughter’s life,” Det. Sgt. James Murphy said of Diane Aluska, 55, who was later pronounced dead at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip.

Police said just after 9 a.m. the mother and daughter were walking on a Lindenhurst sidewalk in front of 225 S. Wellwood Ave. when the car hit them.

The driver, Ann Riolo, 80, also of Lindenhurst, had put the car in reverse and was backing out of a diagonal parking spot on the south side of South Wellwood Avenue when she “drove onto the sidewalk,” police said.
