Great Sacrifice of a Mother 2 - Mother sacrificed herself to save her 2yr old daughter!

Susan Dibene's two-year-old daughter's pushchair got caught in a Metrolink commuter train train tracks. She was killed as she desperately tried to free her two-year-old daughter as a commuter train bore down on her in Riverside, California.

In a final moment of heroism she managed to free the buggy and push her child clear - but did not have enough time to get herself out of the way. Police said Mrs Dibene was trying to hurry across the tracks despite the fact that the safety arms were down. 'She didn't quite make it,' Riverside police Sergeant Dan Warren said. 'The baby's fine, but she got hit.' Sergeant Kendall Banks added: 'The arms were down, lights were going and she tried to cross anyway and the stroller got stuck and she didn't make it.'

An emotional Paul Dibene, the child's father, said of is wife's sacrifice: 'You have so many mixed emotions. Here you lose the mother of your child, yet she gave her life. I feel like she paid the ultimate sacrifice. She gave her life to save her daughter. The panic and the fear could've caused you to just freeze. It could've taken both their lives.'

Sandra Castillo was walking past the scene when she saw the child alone in her stroller. 'All I did was get the baby - get her in the side walk,' she told KTLA. 'Because I didn't want her to get hit by other cars. 'I was like, did she just randomly come out of nowhere? Did she fall off the train? But no, her mum got run over. 'She tried to take her life to save her baby'.

Passengers said the train, which was travelling from Oceanside to San Bernardino, stopped after the collision as investigators were called. Passenger Joseph Avila told KCAL-TV they were told what had happened by the conductor. 'Probably about 45 minutes after what happened, he finally told us that a lady and a baby got struck,' he said.

Police and railroad officials continue to investigate the collision. None of the 50 passengers on the train was injured. The child was treated at a local hospital as a precaution and is now in the care of her grandmother.
