The crash happened at around 9:35 p.m. on North Alamo Road, south of 17 1/2 Road, when a truck traveling southbound hit Lorena Perez and another woman as they were putting gas into their tank, according to a DPS news release.
Both women were taken to the hospital, where Perez died, DPS said.
Doctors performed an emergency C-section in an attempt to save the unborn baby, but it was to no avail.
