Pregnant woman killed in hit and run gave birth to her child before she died

A 22-year-old pregnant woman who was struck by a hit-and-run driver while walking home from work gave birth to a healthy baby girl before she died.

San Marcos police say Diann Ford was returning from her job at Long John Silver's late on Tuesday when she was hit by the car.

Diann, who was 37 weeks pregnant, was taken to an Austin hospital that night, the San Antonio Express-News reported.

She gave birth by cesarean section on Wednesday, and the girl was taken to the hospital's pediatric intensive care unit. The 22-year-old died the next day.
