Expectant parents killed in car crash on way to hospital, baby rescued with C-section

New York (CNN) -- A midnight car crash in New York killed two expectant parents who were heading to the hospital. But the baby was rescued by cesarean section and is in critical condition, police say.

Nathan and Raizy Glauber, both 21, were riding in a livery cab in Brooklyn. Another car, a BMW, crashed into the cab at an intersection, slamming into its side, at about 12:10 a.m. Sunday.

The two occupants of the BMW fled the scene on foot and are being sought by police.



The driver of the cab, a Toyota Corolla, was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition, police say.

The Glaubers were soon pronounced dead at two different hospitals, said Sgt. Tom Antonetti, a police spokesman. Police initially identified the name as Gluber, but revised that later in the day.
