PHOENIX (3TV / CBS 5) – Arizona’s family learns about the mother and unborn child who died in a crash in Phoenix on Wednesday. Samantha Bean-Lansman was eight months pregnant with a young boy. She was only days away from her last ultrasound when a trip to work ended tragically. The truck driver and his passenger were not injured. “I just can’t imagine life being taken like that in a split second,” said Paul Sheston. Sheston works with Samantha’s mother in a Valley law firm. He speaks on behalf of the family and was with the mother when she heard about the car accident on the phone. “She was overwhelmed with shock and sadness,” Sheston said. “We were just trying to be there for her.” Phoenix police said Samantha ran over the red light going east on McDowell Road and rammed into a van turning left on 52nd Street. Samantha and her unborn child died in the crash. Sheston drove to the crime scene near Papago Park to see the fatal consequences. “Something I’ll never forget and something I never want to see again,” said Sheston. Samantha Bean-Lansman was only 26 years old when she died.

Sheston said it was too early to say if the 26-year-old pulled over the red light and caused the crash. The family now focuses on the daughter who lost her mother.
