FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 19 (UPI) -- An out-of-control car crashed into a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., hotel pool cabana and killed a woman and her unborn son, authorities said.
The victim was identified as Alanna DeMella, 26, who was seven months pregnant, WPLG, Miami, reported.
The driver, Rosa Rivera Kim, 34, apparently lost control of her four-door sedan, which crashed into the cabana at the Riverside Hotel Sunday afternoon, the report said.
The Orlando Sentinel said police were tryiing to determine if charges would be filed.
DeMella and her husband, Michael, who was at the scene, were visiting Fort Lauderdale from Boston, witnesses said. The Sentinel said they were taking a last vacation before returning home to prepare for the birth of their son.
People said they heard an explosion come from the cabana.
"A big almighty explosion, that's what it sounded like," said Darren Gordon, a tourist visiting from the United Kingdom who called 911. "Tragic accident. It's sad. There was no breaking. No screeching of tires, just a big explosion."
Kim was transported to Broward General Medical Center. NBC Miami said she was listed in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries.
