The family of a pregnant woman killed in a crash with an off-duty Dallas police officer – says they’ve received little to no information as to what exactly led up to the crash. NBC 5’s Maria Guerrero has new information on the investigation – and the young mother’s incredible final act of love.

The family of a pregnant woman killed in a car crash with an off-duty police officer earlier this month says they've received little to no information from investigators about what happened.

Aquazia "Qua" Kennedy's dreams of a new life in North Texas were dashed in a horrible crash on Jan. 6. Kennedy, 19, was pregnant and was riding with her brother when their Chevrolet Malibu stalled and became disabled in the center lane of Interstate 30. As the brother and sister sat in the vehicle, they were hit from behind by an off-duty Dallas police officer driving a Jeep Wrangler.

Kennedy was killed but doctors were able to save her child. Born at 33 weeks, her family named her Sky'Lynn Kennedy, the name chosen by her mother before her death. The child survived a broken leg and internal injuries in the crash. Her family said there is also concern she may have a head injury.

Kennedy's family said the emergency lights were flashing at the time of impact. The Dallas County Sheriff's Department, which is leading the investigation into the crash, said there's no evidence alcohol or drugs were involved but has said little else.
