Maria Lagatta, 37, was going just 20 miles per hour east on the Long Island Expressway near exit 70 in Manorville Thursday at about 5:30 p.m. when Highway Patrol Officer Joseph Goss tried to pull her over, authorities said.
After Lagatta refused, Goss pulled alongside her and spotted her 22-month-old daughter in the back, police said.
The patrol officer was able to slow traffic behind him so that Legatta would not be rear ended, cops said.
