Similar crash happened up here near Boston this weekend. A guy cut through a gas station to avoid traffic at a red light, going about 40 they say, struck a gas pump, hit another car, flipped his, ejected his wife partially decapitating her. She was 8 months pregnant and the crews got her to the hospital and they were able to save the baby. I haven't heard anything new about the baby. The police are looking at charges against the husband.
