Meriden: Authorities say a woman in the US state of Connecticut saved her seven-year-old daughter's life by pushing her out of the way moments before she was struck and killed in a hit-and-run.
Police say 40-year-old Dania Cegeno-Delrosario and her seven-year-old daughter, Denisse, were crossing a street in Meriden on Friday night when they were struck.
The Record-Journal reports the girl told police that her mother saw the approaching vehicle and pushed her to safety.
Cegeno-Delrosario was taken to a hospital, where she later died. The woman's daughter was hospitalised with minor injuries. She has since been released.
Police say the driver fled the scene but left behind a mirror and casing.
The investigation is ongoing.
