A 33-year-old, eight-months-pregnant Indian-origin woman was killed after being hit by a car in the Sydney suburb of Hornsby, Australian authorities said. Samanvitha Dhareshwar was walking with her husband and three-year-old son when tragedy struck. She was just weeks away from welcoming her second child.

According to police, a Kia car slowed down to let Dhareshwar and her family walk near the entrance of a parking garage when it was hit from behind by a speeding BMW being driven by 19-year-old Aaron Papazoglu.

The impact pushed the Kia forward, hitting Dhareshwar when she crossed the car park entrance.

She suffered catastrophic injuries and was rushed to Westmead Hospital, but both she and her unborn child could not be saved, 7 News reported. The incident occurred on Friday night.
