Pregnant mom of 6 killed trying to protect family from road-raging driver: cops foxnews.com

The New York mother who died in an alleged road rage attack outside a 7-Eleven on Wednesday had thrown herself in front of the oncoming car in order to shield her six children, reports said Thursday. Melissa DeLoatch, 32, was outside a 7-Eleven store in Rockland County, N.Y., when her husband, Sean, asked 35-year-old Jason Mendez to stop smoking near his children, the New York Times reported. After the two men argued, Mendez got into his car and rammed the family of eight, backed up, and slammed into them a second time, police said.
