A mother is recovering at County USC Medical Center after being struck by a car Thursday night after pushing her two children to safety.

The accident happened at about 7:20 p.m. just east of the intersection of South Grand and Gladstone avenues. The 35-year-old mother was walking along Gladstone Avenue with her two children when both kids darted out into the street.

She ran out to grab them as she saw a car quickly traveling eastbound on Gladstone Avenue. She pushed the two kids out of harm’s way, but she was struck by the car, said Glendora Police Lt. Rob Lamborghini.
