This story happened about 45 or 50 minutes from my house in a St. Paul/Minneapolis suburb, on a stretch of highway I've traveled on many a time. Perhaps you've heard about it? A woman slowed or stopped her car for some reason in the middle of 3 lanes of traffic. A semi-truck rear-ended her. Her four year old baby girl went into cardiac arrest, but one of the first, or maybe the first, person on the scene was a heart surgeon. It seemed to be a happy ending when he was able to do CPR and resuscitate her and she was rushed to the hospital. The happy ending turned out to be merely a fortunate delay, though, as the girl died today. I haven't heard why she slowed down, but I can't imagine that she'll ever be able to fully recover from this . . .
Here is the link from one of the local TV stations, KSTP.

That is so sad.
Hi Amanda, I've been neglecting your blog. What a sad story to come back to. Imagine a heart surgeon being first on the scene! Do you think the mother stopped suddenly because her daughter was in trouble before the accident?
