Washington Township woman, unborn child killed in crash

WASHINGTON TWP. — A 29-year-old woman and her unborn child were killed as the result of a motor vehicle crash here Wednesday night.
The crash occurred at about 8:29 p.m. on Pitman-Downer Road.
Daniel Pereira, 21, of Glassboro, was driving his 2011 Toyota Camry east on Pitman-Downer Road when it crossed over into the oncoming lane, police said. He hit a westbound 2005 Ford Escape driven by Toni Bolis, 29, of Argo Drive, said police.
Pereira was sent to Cooper Medical Center in Camden for treatment of internal injuries, police said.
Bolis, who was nine-months pregnant, had severe internal injuries and was taken to Kennedy University Hospital, where she and the unborn child died a short time later, said police.
According to a report on CBS 3, Bolis was in the middle of a handsfree phone call with her mother when she was hit. She urged her mother to come to the scene and was afraid she was going to lose the baby, a boy.
One of Bolis' sisters said she spoke to Pereira minutes after the crash and that he said he looked down at his GPS unit just before impact, according to the CBS 3 report.
