A young woman, identified as Gabriela Oliveira, 18 years old, eight months pregnant, died after being run over by a runaway kombi while she was walking along a sidewalk. The victim was accompanied by her husband, Leonardo dos Santos, who survived the accident. The baby that the young woman was expecting also did not resist. According to SBT News, the case happened in the east zone of São Paulo, in the early hours of Sunday (20).

A surveillance camera captured the entire incident. The information says that the couple had left a cellar in Itaim Paulista. The two were walking on the sidewalk, when the vehicle approached at high speed. Then it left the track and violently hit the couple.

Leonardo became unconscious and when he returned to consciousness, he despaired when he saw the state of the woman. He sent an audio to a family member where he explained that Gabriela was being rescued and that the Kombi had lost control and was thrown at them.

The police responded to the incident and reported that the driver of the Kombi would have noticed a mechanical problem and lost control of the vehicle. The car still collided with the door of a commercial establishment.

SBT News said that Gabriela suffered a cardiac arrest and Leonardo had fractures in his legs and back. The two had been married for just over a year and were looking forward to the arrival of their first child, who would be named Ravi Lucca. The Kombi driver was injured and taken to a hospital.

Still according to the information, the young woman, a year ago, had lost a baby and was making plans for the new child.
