Pregnant woman delivers baby, dies

BOISE - A pregnant mother of six is dead after her car hit a semi-truck head-on near her home.
It happened in South Boise on West Lake Hazel near the Charter Pointe subdivision shortly after 6 p.m. Tuesday night.
Deputies say extremely icy road conditions led to the crash that killed Jennifer Storch, 30. She was driving her Cadillac SUV when several cars ahead of her began sliding. To avoid the crash, police say Storch swerved – running into oncoming traffic and hit the semi-truck hauling dry wall.

“She was alive at the time and was not restrained by a seatbelt. She was taken to a hospital where she later died of her injuries,” said Sgt Tom Briggs, with the Ada County Sheriffs Office.
The woman’s baby was at 35 weeks – near full term. Doctors at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center delivered the baby via emergency caesarian section before the mother died.
The baby is in the neonatal intensive care unit – and Briggs says it appears the baby will survive.
The people in the semi-truck were not injured.
Deputies say speed may have been a factor in the crash.VIDEO

NEVER, NEVER swerve or hit the brakes when vehicles ahead start sliding out of control on icy roads. Hold the steering wheel tight and ease off the gas. If you are lucky, the vehicles will slide off the road; out of your way. If not, it is always better to get tangled in the middle, then get hit head-on.
I have been lucky several times by using this maneuver.

Often times pregnant women say that they don't like wearing seat belts. I hope all pregnant women remember this horrible accident and buckle up.
