The woman who was 34 weeks pregnant when she was involved in a head-on collision that killed two teens near downtown Salt Lake City Thursday remains in critical condition along with her baby, University of Utah Hospital spokesperson Kathy Wilets said Sunday.
Amy Stevenson Wilson, 32, was on her way to the Salt Lake Temple when a sedan carrying three West High students traveling at high speed crossed over a barrier and struck her SUV.
Wilson gave birth at the hospital via emergency c-section, a man who said he's her brother wrote on a fundraising page for the woman.
Matthew Donald Stevenson said his sister lost a spleen and kidney and has a critical brain injury. The baby girl was born without a heartbeat and revived after receiving CPR for 11 minutes.
The crash killed 17-year-old Vidal Pacheco and 18-year-old Dylan Hernandez. The teen driving the sedan was in serious condition at the hospital as of Friday.
Hundreds of classmates attended two vigils for the teens killed in the crash.
