Baby born after mother dies in road accident

A BOY was born healthy shortly after his mother died in a traffic accident in Xiamen, a port city in southeast Fujian Province, a local newspaper reported.

The accident happened around 8:30pm on Tuesday when a motorcycle carrying a couple crashed with a truck. The 42-year-old husband surnamed Zhao and his pregnant wife surnamed Duan, 40, died at the scene.

But their baby was born on the spot due to the impact and was rushed to a hospital for examination which showed he only suffered minor bruises in his face and limbs, the Southeast Express reported yesterday.

Zhao’s brother said Duan felt abdomen pain on Tuesday morning and Zhao rode her to hospital for tests.

“He opened his eyes yesterday afternoon. He has big eyes and looks smart. He kicks in the quilt and cries loudly,” a nurse at the Haicang Hospital said.

The news spread quickly and many people went to the hospital to offer help. Some sent diapers, toys and infant formulas to the boy, the paper reported.

The truck driver surnamed Guo has been detained for investigation.
