Family praying for 'big miracles' after crash puts expecting mom and baby in ICU

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — What began as a routine pregnancy check-up for an expecting mother turned into a family clinging on for life as a horrific crash has kept them in Portland hospitals for over a week.

The couple was driving on Highway 30 from Astoria to Oregon Health and Sciences University for an appointment, the same hospital where he underwent a surgery due to injuries from the crash on Wednesday. The mom and baby are both in critical condition across the Willamette River at Legacy Health.
