Police did not release any names involved in the crash, however, a woman on social media that represented as the 35-year-old pregnant woman issued a statement.

“He almost killed me and my family and for a while there on my way to the hospital I thought my unborn baby was gone (thank God he’s OK at the moment). I hope he gets the time he deserves… but thank you to all first responders and the people who helped me before they arrived. You all made the difference. It will be a long recovery for me but I’m just so grateful my daughter and my unborn son are ok and of course my fiancé.”
