India, Nov. 18 -- A 33-year-old Indian-origin woman, who was 8 months pregnant, died along with her unborn child after being struck by a car in Sydney's Hornsby suburb, Australian authorities said, as per a report by 9 News.

The victim, Samanvitha Dhareshwar, was walking with her husband and their 3-year-old son on Friday when the fatal crash occurred. She was just weeks away from giving birth to her second child.

According to a report by 9 News, the New South Wales Police said that a Kia Carnival had slowed down to allow the family to cross the footpath. At that moment, a BMW sedan driven by 19-year-old Aaron Papazoglu allegedly collided with the Kia, causing it to surge forward and hit Dhareshwar with force.
