Some quotes from the article:
A baby delivered in emergency surgery after a head-on traffic collision Tuesday night caused fatal injuries to his mother spent his first day of life in intensive care at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise.
"The response out there was one of the more treacherous responses that I've had to go on," said Shawn Rayne, a supervisor with Ada County Paramedics. "It was a sheet of ice all the way out there. It was a mess."
Saving the unborn child of a woman with fatal injuries is a rare occurrence, even in Rayne's line of work.
Her Cadillac Escalade slammed head-on into a drywall truck - a large flatbed truck with a lifting crane.
Briggs said the airbags in Storch's SUV deployed. But she wasn't wearing a seat belt.
"She appears to have struck the steering wheel. That trauma is ultimately what led to her death," he said.
Briggs said Storch was talking when police arrived at the accident but lost consciousness soon after; an officer started artificial respiration until paramedics arrived.
Briggs said the front end of the vehicle was crushed, but there was "still plenty of room for an occupant to survive.
"It's total speculation, but I think she would have survived if she had been wearing her seat belt," he said. "That's the tragic truth of it all."
She has seven other children.
