Woman Injured In Dakota Co. Crash Taken Off Life Support
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP/WCCO) — The mother of a woman critically injured in a Minnesota highway crash that killed her husband, baby and unborn child says her daughter was taken off of life support.
Suzanne Mohn Brantly says on Facebook that her 26-year-old daughter, Elizabeth Calderara, was breathing only through a ventilator at Regions Hospital in St. Paul and that the family made the difficult decision to take her off life support.
Calderara suffered severe head and neck injuries in a Dakota County crash Monday that killed her 31-year-old husband, Jason Calderara, their 1-year-old daughter Melody and their unborn baby. Brantly says her daughter was 35 weeks pregnant. Nine-year-old Nicholas Calderara survived the collision between the family's SUV and a semitrailer and is hospitalized in St. Paul.
Authorities say injuries to the truck driver weren't life threatening.
