The crash happened around 2 p.m. local time on March 20 at an intersection in Lowndes County, Ga., according to a news release from the Georgia State Patrol obtained by KOLD.

State troopers said that the school bus was stopped at a stop sign when a Hyundai SUV approached the intersection and that the bus driver allegedly failed to yield while entering the road, resulting in the SUV hitting the driver’s side of the bus.

The couple, Sierra Johnson and Kasen Millwood of Florida, told KOLD that they were traveling separately that day and were heading to their home in Florida.

Johnson, who was involved in the crash, was pregnant. She said her “belly was on fire” immediately following the collision.

“I felt like I was dying. And I was just lying on the road and asked everybody who was near me to help me. And that I’m pregnant, and, like, please save my baby,” she recalled of the incident.

Johnson was transported to South Georgia Medical Center, where she received an emergency C-section. She said the baby’s heart rate dropped during the procedure and he did not survive.

The couple’s son was due on July 12.

Millwood said they “want justice, and we want answers for our baby boy and why his life had to come to such an abrupt end.”
