Power line falls on car during Oregon ice storm, killing 3 and hurting a baby, authorities say
A pregnant woman, her boyfriend, and her 15-year-old brother were electrocuted when a large branch broke from a tree, landed on utility wires, and pushed one onto their vehicle.
Majiah Washington, an 18-year-old neighbor, saved the couple's 9-month-old baby by grabbing him and avoiding contact with the live wire, despite witnessing the deaths of three people.
The recent Pacific Northwest ice storm has caused at least 10 deaths in Oregon and five deaths from hypothermia in the Seattle area.
