25-year old pregnant woman died Tuesday night in a car crash near Al Qatranah, Karak Governorate in southern Jordan.

Banan Al Nawayseh, 25, was critically injured in a car accident when her husband, who was driving his own car, attempted to avoid a piece of tire that had ripped off a truck tire, causing him to crash into his wife's car who was driving infront of him.

The mother and her unborn child were pronounced dead later at the hospital.

Karak's Public Prosecutor, Ma'mon Dmour ordered the Southern Forensics Center in Karak to perform an autopsy and further investigate the accident.
