Lindenhurst,NY : Hundreds at vigil for mom killed in Lindenhurst crash on may, Friday 19th 2017

Hundreds of residents, members of the local fire department and school community attended a candlelight vigil Friday night in Lindenhurst for the family of Diane Aluska — the woman killed on Mother’s Day when a car struck her after she had pushed her daughter out of harm’s way.

Aluska, 55, and her daughter, Jenna, 16, were walking on a sidewalk on South Wellwood Avenue in the village when a 2005 Toyota Corolla hit Aluska and clipped Jenna, Suffolk police said.
Later Kenny Aluska addressed the gathering, held at the gazebo downtown, and said Jenna, a sophomore at Lindenhurst High School, was physically having good days and bad.

“She’s doing very well,” Aluska said. “The doctor said there would be a lot of ups and downs, which it is.”
