TACOMA, Wash. (AP) – A pregnant Tacoma woman has died after her 6-year-old son accidentally put their minivan in gear and backed over her.
The News Tribune reports Shannon MacLeod was behind the vehicle loading it up to leave a Steilacoom park Monday afternoon when it rolled back and pinned her underneath.
MacLeod, who was eight months pregnant, died on the way to the hospital, but doctors were able to save the baby boy.
He was taken to Seattle Children’s Hospital.
MacLeod’s 6-year-old son and other children in the minivan were not injured.
