Pioneer Press - A pickup truck struck a Minneapolis woman who was pregnant when the vehicle drove the wrong way on a highway ramp Saturday night.
According Minnesota state patrol, the truck hit and slammed into a family's van around 11:45 p.m. at the 49th Avenue exit on Interstate Hwy. 94.
A 29-year-old pregnant woman, Tao Thao, was critically hurt and in critical condition at North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale. Thao's other family members including her husband and five other children were in the van with her.
The driver of the truck was identified as Connie Stroud, who had "too much to drink," said state patrol.
