Albany, NY : A woman was killed when she was struck by a car on May, Sunday, 14th 2017

A woman was killed when she was struck by a car on a Lindenhurst sidewalk Sunday morning, May 14, 2017, but saved her teenage daughter by pushing her out of the way at the last moment, Suffolk County police said. The mother was identified by police as Diane Aluska, 55, of Lindenhurst, and her daughter was identified as Jenna Aluska, 16. The accident happened about 9:10 a.m. on Mother's Day. Police said the two were walking on the sidewalk in front of the Lindenhurst Fire Department when they were struck by a 2005 Toyota Corolla. The Corolla was backing out of a diagonal parking spot along the side of southbound South Wellwood Avenue.
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.
