Allison Rahmani, a 40-year-old mother of four and teacher at the Hebrew Academy of Five Towns and Rockaway, died Friday morning after the SUV she was driving crashed into an in-ground swimming pool, authorities said.

Rahmani was driving a 2023 GMC in the driveway of a home on Elinor Road shortly before 9:30 a.m. when she lost control of the vehicle, according to the Nassau County Police Department.

The SUV struck a tree and an unoccupied 2006 Honda before plunging into the in-ground pool, police said.

Rahmani was removed from the vehicle before officers arrived. Police performed lifesaving measures before she was transported for medical treatment.

A source familiar with the family told JNS that Rahmani did not drown. The source said she was able to call for help after the crash but died in an ambulance while being transported to the hospital.

Police said Rahmani was ultimately pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Police initially did not identify the woman or say whether she lived at the residence where the crash occurred. She was later identified as Rahmani, a Hewlett Bay Park resident.

The fatal vehicular accident remains under investigation. Police have not disclosed what caused Rahmani to lose control of the SUV.
