An Indian-origin techie who was eight months pregnant has died along with her unborn baby after she was hit by a car in Australia’s Sydney city.

Samanvitha Dhareshwar, 33, was walking with her husband and their three-year-old son along George St in Hornsby shortly after 8 pm local time on Friday last week when a Kia car slowed at the entrance of a carpark to let the family

pass.

Moments later, the Kia was rear-ended by a BMW, causing it to surge forward and hit the woman, according to a media report.

Emergency services treated Dhareshwar, who was just weeks away from giving birth to her second child, at the scene before she was rushed to Westmead Hospital in a critical and unstable condition, where she and her unborn baby died a short time later, police said.
