A pregnant Palm Beach County woman was critically injured in a head-on collision with a suspected drunk driver, who live-streamed the aftermath of the crash.

A 21-year old of Boca Raton is charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, according to Palm Beach County jail records.

The victim, who was seven months pregnant, was initially not expected to survive the crash, which ignited a fire in her Chrysler and left her pinned in the vehicle, Florida Highway Patrol officials said. First responders were able to extinguish the blaze and extract the victim from the wreckage.

However, both the 34-year old victim of Palm Beach County and her unborn daughter were airlifted to a hospital. The victim’s husband, a 46-year old man from Riviera Beach told Florida Highway Patrol officials that his wife was kept on a respirator until her organs could be harvested for donation.

Florida Highway Patrol officials have decided to withhold the names of the victim until further notice.

However, the Palm Beach Sheriff Office is urging anyone with relevant information concerning the car crash to contact them.

Two women were injured in a violent crash that took place in a Boca Raton neighborhood, a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman said.

Cameras at Family Grocery recorded the crash at Jupiter and Second Street, showing at one person being brought out from the vehicle and laying on the ground motionless

The recording shows a silvery BMW coming across Second, where there was no stop sign. Then another silvery car blazes down Swain runs the stop sign and tears into a corner of the BMW.

In fractions of a second, the BMW whips around. Debris sprayed off. The rear driver’s side door comes open, and at least two people flew out, landing near an ice cooler at Family Grocery. A wheel came off the BMW and rolls, coming to rest not far from the motionless person.

The driver of the BMW gets out, and bends over, holding himself up with his hands on his thighs. One woman in the BMW was thrown into an airbag close to the store’s security-gated front door; the security camera recording shows the roof crumpled above her head.

The recording shows a sheriff’s deputy and firefighters arriving and looking over the man near the ice machine. No one renders aid. He does not move.

Sheriff’s spokeswoman said three women were injured in the crash.

The crash is under investigation and a report will be released when details are available, FHP said.

Three people including one infant were injured when an out-of-control Ford Mustang plowed through a packed Boca Raton bagel shop, covering customers under a pile of broken glass and tables, officials and witnesses said.

Several people were eating breakfast inside the shop in Boca Raton when the truck suddenly came smashing through the wall.

“When it first happened, it felt like an explosion,” said a 26-year old employee who was behind the cash register and watched in disbelief as his customers started flying around the store.

“The walls started to crash and falling down and all the dust and glass exploded from it.”

The employee said a woman in her 20s who had been sitting with her mother-infant child were thrown to the back of the shop and pinned, he said.

Police said the Ford Mustang driver lost control as he was traveling down Wellington, clipped a parked car near at a nearby road and continued half a block, rocketing toward the crowded shop.

The injured victims were taken to a hospital in Broward County. The Florida Highway Patrol said investigations are still ongoing and urges anyone with relevant information concerning the crash to contact the department.
