A driver turned herself in to police and has been charged in connection with a crash that killed a pregnant woman crossing the street in a Chicago suburb over the weekend.

According to police, a soon-to-be mother was crossing a street near the intersection of Grand Avenue and Jackson Street in Waukegan around 9:30 p.m. Sunday when she was hit by a vehicle.

Police said they arrived at the scene to find 36-year-old Michelle Heidbrick, of Mundelein, unresponsive.

Officers performed CPR and Heidbrick was transported to Vista Medical Center East where she was pronounced dead, along with her unborn baby.

Family members said in a fundraising page for Heidbrick that she was 22 weeks pregnant at the time of her death.
