NEW YORK, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Some ordinary New York City residents did a most extraordinary deed Thursday, lifting a five-ton bus off a dying pregnant woman, police said.
The woman, an NYPD traffic agent, could not be saved but her unborn baby survived, the New York Daily News said.
Donnette Sanz, 33, was seven months pregnant when knocked into the path of a school bus by a van while crossing a Bronx street. A crowd of onlookers, alerted by the impact, pitched in to lift the 10,000-pound bus to free her, witnesses said.
Sanz died during surgery, police said, but doctors delivered her son by Caesarean section.
Police said Sanz was hit by a van driven by Walter Walker, 72, who said his brakes failed. He was charged with driving with a suspended license, the Daily News said.
