Earlier today, I informed you about the tragic story of a couple killed in a hit-and-run in Brooklyn on Sunday, March 3. Their son was delivered just instants after her passing, through a C-section.

According to a report by the Guardian, the baby has since died in the hospital himself, just one day after the horrific accident. He succumbed to his wounds at around 5:30 a.m. today.

CBS New York describes that Orthodox Jewish couple Nachman and Raizy Glauber, both 21 years old, were in a hurry to get to the hospital, as Raizy was feeling ill, when they collided with a BMW.

On the intersection of Kent Avenue and Wilson Street in Williamsburg, the BMW smashed into their chauffeured vehicle. The identities of the driver and passenger remain unknown at this point.

“She was premature; couldn’t feel the baby. [...] They wanted to check it out,” Raizy’s aunt, Ruchel Bochnel describes.
