The pregnant woman who died on her way to the hospital in Maine has been identified.

The 27-year-old woman has been identified as Desiree Strout, reported WGME.
Strout was rushing to the hospital on Jan. 22, when the car she was driving slid on ice, partially hit a snowbank, and rolled onto its side.

Strout was killed but doctors at Redington-Fairview General Hospital performed an emergency C-section to try to save her baby.

Strout had been nine months pregnant.

The baby is in critical condition.

“The baby is currently in Bangor at EMMC,” Skowhegan Police Chief David Bucknam told Central Maine. “Unknown status, as the hospital will not give us an update.”

Dana Weeks, Strout’s uncle, told WGME that she was a mother-of-two.
