Allred was sitting in the right front passenger seat with the Willis baby on his lap. He reported that his sister told him to not let anything happen to the baby. He braced himself and protected the child as best he could. Wilson said Willis was five months pregnant and was still maintaining the pregnancy. If the seat belts would have been fastened, said Wilson, Willis would not have been ejected from the vehicle and may not have been critically injured.
