SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (FOX 2) – Tiara Jones, a first-time mother, was seven months pregnant when she was hit by a car over the weekend.
Doctors were able to do an emergency Cesarean section to save her little boy, but sadly she died from her injuries. Â
“Words cannot, I’m numb,” said Stacey Peck, the victim’s mother.
The family was preparing to welcome a baby boy into the world, but not like this. Â Â
“They had emergency C-section so they had to get him out there was just blood everywhere it was oh my God,” she said.Â
Stacey Peck’s daughter – Tiara was hit by a car Sunday at the Country Court Apartments off Greenfield in Southfield. Â
“He reversed, and then he hit her against my car – she got crushed between the middle,” said Jevon Jones, witness.Â
Jevon Jones was there. He’s a friend of Tiara’s, and says when there were at the apartments. An argument between some friends broke out and she tried to help, when she was hit. Â
“They were working on her, they were doing a good job she died twice they brought her back,” said Peck.
The driver tried to run from police. Southfield police told FOX 2 he was caught, interviewed then released – pending their investigation – trying to figure out if this was negligence or on purpose. Â
“I mean he looked as if he was in shock, like he couldn’t believe it happened,” Jones said. Â
Tiara’s 7-month old baby is still in the hospital but stable – the baby’s grandma says he doesn’t have a name yet, right now they’re trying now to plan a funeral. Â
“She was beautiful, she worked every day, she was good people, she was everything,” Jones said.Â
