Grief after death of pregnant S.I. mother struck by car

Family and friends of a pregnant Staten Island mom, who was fatally struck by a car while leaving work, were left reeling a day after the tragedy. Donations for the family can be given to Mike'€™s Place at 4677 Hylan Blvd. in Staten Island. As Lies crossed mid-block at Hylan Blvd. near Arden Ave. around 10 p.m., she was slammed by a sedan, police said. The restaurant has started a fund for Lies'€™ family. Lies, a waitress who was five-months pregnant and has two daughters, was allowed to work early Monday because it was a slow night, a manager at Mike'€™s Place Diner said.
