A fatal hit-and-run collision between two cars Tuesday night in San Jose left a pregnant woman and her child, who was delivered by emergency C-section, dead. Officials say the child initially survived, but was in critical condition.
The teens fled from the vehicle on foot and were not found for several days.
An 8-month pregnant Zoglauer was taken to local hospital where she died. Doctors tried to save the baby with an emergency C-section, but the child died soon after the delivery, according to officials.

Authorities have not said what charges the second teen faces.
