The driver of that vehicle was 8 1/2 months pregnant and was trying to rush the 15 year old boy to the hospital because he was having a seizure. Sad the driver also had a full driver license insurance and this was her first accident, a year later everyone in that car suffer injury and has gotten paid from the accident except that driver and her unborn child who is now 1 yr. Old girl.
