Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives have charged a woman following a fatal collision in Cranbourne earlier this year where a baby died, Victoria Police say.
The two-car collision occurred about 1.40pm on 8 August on the South Gippsland Highway.
A car was heading south near the Thompsons Road intersection when it was struck by a second vehicle exiting from a car park.
The 25-year-old female driver of the first vehicle was pregnant and was conveyed to hospital following the incident.
As a result she gave birth and the child passed away in hospital.
The 31-year-old female driver from the second vehicle was uninjured.
She was charged yesterday with dangerous driving causing death, reckless conduct endangering a person, careless driving, failing to give way and disobeying a one way sign.
The Cranbourne East woman has been bailed to appear at the Melbourne Magistrate’s Court on 9 November.
