Injuries to a child in utero.
A man was charged with reckless driving in that it caused a collision in which a child of thirty-five weeks gestation, then in utero, was delivered alive but died shortly thereafter. Objections by defence lawyers that no death had been caused within the meaning of the statute were rejected and an appeal on the same ground was refused. Thereafter the man pleaded guilty.
