An Indian-origin woman who was eight months pregnant died after being struck during a two-car collision in Sydney’s Hornsby suburb.

The victim, 33-year-old Samanvitha Dhareshwar, was walking with her husband and their three-year-old son when she was fatally hit on the evening of November 14, according to reports from People.

New South Wales Police said the family had been crossing George Street around 8 pm when a Kia slowed to let them pass near the entrance of a car park.

Assistant Commissioner David Driver told the media that a white BMW then allegedly slammed into the Kia from behind, pushing it forward and striking Samanvitha.

“As a result of that impact, she’s now deceased," Driver said, noting that the collision also claimed the life of her unborn child.
