Description
On December 11, 2003, Pablo Navarette was operating a solid waste truck owned by Ward County. He stopped at an intersection in Monahans and a vehicle driven by Ricky Cravens stopped about five feet behind the truck. Viasana, who was 22-23 weeks pregnant, was a passenger in Cravens vehicle. Cravens remained behind the truck for about three minutes. Navarette put the truck in reverse and backed into Cravens vehicle while moving approximately five miles per hour. Viasana described it as a slow impact and slight bump. She also said that Cravens vehicle had a few scrapes on it as a result of the accident but she admitted that the police found no damage on Cravens vehicle. Viasana reported to Navarette and the investigating officer that she was not injured. Later the same day, however, Viasana was admitted to the hospital with vaginal bleeding and pre-term ruptured membranes. She went into labor and delivered a female infant, Shandi Cravens, on December 13, 2003. Tragically, the infant died shortly after birth. This case is not the only instance in which Viasana did not carry a pregnancy full-term. She carried only one of six pregnancies full-term. Two others resulted in delivery at five months gestation.
