Kansas woman delivers baby girl after hit-and-run

GARDNER, Kan. - A northeast Kansas woman injured after a hit-and-run crash involving a tractor-trailer has delivered a healthy baby girl.

The Kansas City Star reported that 33-year-old Nikki McClure is in critical but stable condition following Wednesday's collision on Interstate 35 near Gardner.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported that McClure had to be extricated from her Hyundai sedan after rear-ending a tractor-trailer, which was moving slower than the rest of traffic, according to CBS affiliate WIBW in Topeka, Kansas.

After the crash, the rig's driver drove off with the hood of her car impaled on the back of the trailer. As of Thursday, the truck and its driver hadn't been found.

Kansas City Police told WIBW wearing a seatbelt likely saved McClure and her baby's life.

The baby was born one month earlier than expected. McClure's husband calls the baby a "little miracle."
