NEW YORK -- A baby delivered by emergency Cesarean section died Monday
morning after both parents, members of an Orthodox Jewish community, were
killed in a hit-and-run accident over the weekend.

The New York Police Department announced the baby’s death and said
investigators were still seeking the driver and passenger of the other
car.

“The baby died at 4:56 a.m.” on Monday, Sgt. Lee Jones, a police
spokesman, told the Los Angeles Times. “Investigators are still seeking
the occupants of the other car,” he said.

On Saturday, Raizy Glauber, who was about seven months pregnant, asked to
go to the hospital because she wasn't feeling well. Her husband, Nathan,
contacted a livery cab to take them because they didn’t own a car.

As the taxi took the couple through Brooklyn during the early hours of
Sunday, a BMW crashed into their vehicle in the Williamsburg section of
the borough, according to police.

The driver and at least one passenger of the BMW fled the scene.

Nathan Glauber, who was pinned in the car, died immediately. Raizy Glauber
was ejected from the vehicle on impact. She was pronounced dead at the
hospital.

The premature baby was delivered by emergency C-section Sunday and was
listed in critical condition for hours before dying, officials said.

The death of the couple, each 21 years old, shocked the tight-knit
Orthodox community. Hundreds of people filled the streets of the couple’s
Brooklyn neighborhood on Sunday as two coffins draped in black velvet were
carried through the crowd into a synagogue for the funerals.

“I can’t get over it,” a relative of Nathan's, Sarah Gluck, told The Times
on Sunday through tears as the sound of crying and wailing floated through
the cold morning air.

“We just lost a beautiful couple,” said Miriam Stern, who knew the family.
“Two wonderful people, always with a smile on their face, always trying to
help.”

Relatives, friends and neighbors have offered a $1,000 reward to help find
the driver of the BMW.

The 32-year-old cab driver, Pedro Nuniz, suffered relatively minor
injuries and was released from a hospital Sunday.
