A Texas woman is heartbroken after the shocking death of her baby.
Kasi Hughes was walking home after watching a fireworks display on July 3 when she was hit by a hit-and-run driver.
“All of a sudden someone said, ‘Watch out,’ and I looked to my left and there was a car, and I remember jumping out of the way,” said Hughes, who was eight months pregnant at the time. He told FOX4“I want to know why they didn’t stop.”
She said she realized she had lost her son while he was being flown to the hospital.

“‘Save my baby. Save my baby. Cut me open and save my baby,’ she kept saying to the paramedics in tears. And all I remember from the whole trip is the face of my passenger, looking for a heartbeat. I kept asking him if he’d found a heartbeat or heard anything, but he wouldn’t even look at me. As soon as I saw him, I knew he was gone.”
Police said the suspect was driving a white or silver passenger vehicle. Investigators are searching for video of the incident but do not yet have any suspects.
