CLEWISTON, FL. (April 23, 2005) -- A Jupiter, Fl. eight-month pregnant woman
died when the vehicle she was a passenger in flipped into a canal along
SR80, 10 miles west of LaBelle. Angela Chinni, 34 was a front seat passenger
in a 2002 Volvo driven by Derek Cinni, 31. The FHP reports that Mr. Chinni,
westbound on SR80 was trying to avoid a turtle in the road and lost control
about 12 noon Saturday, flipping into the canal on the south side of SR80.
There are no guard rails on this section of the highway. Mr. Cinni suffered
minor injuries and was transported to Lee Memorial Hospital. 19-month old
Koby Chinni, in a rear seat child restraint, was also transported to Lee
Memorial for minor injuries. All parties were wearing seat belts.
Derek Chinni, his son Koby and his pregnant wife Angela were on their way to a wedding in April 2005 when Chinni saw a tire-sized turtle in the roadway.
Chinni tried to avoid collision with the turtle, lost control of the vehicle and ended up upside down in a shallow canal.
Upon impact the Volvo S60's tempered glass sunroof exploded. The sturdier laminated glass in the side, rear and front windows remained intact.
According to Chinni, water rushed in the shattered sun-roof while Derek and Angela unsuccessfully struggled to break the laminated side windows.
Witnesses finally managed to rescue an un-injured Derek Chinni through his door. A group of migrant workers helped Chinni overturn the car and try to pull his wife and child out.
Chinni's son, Koby was successfully revived but Angela was not so lucky. She and her unborn baby, Cole, did not survive.
