PHOENIX (AP) — Phoenix police say a pregnant woman's baby was delivered in an emergency cesarean section after she was critically injured when the car she was riding in collided with a bus carrying 40 passengers.

Officer James Holmes says the 26-year-old woman's baby is in stable condition but her injuries are life-threatening. Police say she in a Suzuki Forenza driven by 36-year-old man around 10:40 a.m. Sunday when he ran a red light at 24th Avenue and McDowell Road and hit the bus.

There were indications the man was distracted, but police are still investigating.
