During the snowstorm Thursday, a snow plow in Brooklyn struck and killed a pregnant woman, police say. But her baby survived.
The plow — a privately owned Bobcat not affiliated with the city, — hit the 36-year-old woman in a supermarket parking lot, police told Pix 11.
While the mother died in the hospital of cardiac arrest, ABC Local reports, doctors delivered her baby via emergency c-section. The infant remains in stable but critical condition, police told NBC New York.
The incident occurred on Eighth Avenue near 63rd Street in Brooklyn, the New York Daily News reports. The Daily News also identified the victim as Min Lin, a native from China.
Fei Long Market's 42-year-old store owner smashed into Lin while backing up a Bobcat S250, sources told the New York Post. No charges have been filed pending an investigation, but neighbors admit they've seen the merchant driving erratically before.
