(AP) A pregnant woman was killed and two other people were injured when a woman rammed her car into them during a planned street fight involving as many as 30 young women, authorities said.

The driver of the car, Unique Bishop, 21, fled after Monday afternoon's fight but later turned herself in to authorities and was booked for investigation of murder, police said. She was being held on $1 million bail.

"It was totally an intentional act to kill the woman. It was the driver's way of settling the dispute. It was a horrific act," said LAPD Deputy Chief Charlie Beck.

It was not immediately known if Bishop had obtained an attorney.

Shontae Treniece Blanche, 22, was killed in the confrontation, police said Tuesday. She was eight months pregnant.

One of the other victims was in critical condition and was expected to lose her leg, police said. The names of the two injured women were not released.

Police said the cause of the dispute is unclear, but that it was part of a planned confrontation between two groups of women in their early 20s. Witnesses told police they saw women shouting at each other and fighting at a discount store parking lot. The fight then moved onto the street and into a gas station.

Dozens gathered at the gas station and watched as Bishop got into her car and drove it into the group, investigators said. One of the victims was pinned against another car, police said.

"We have seen women around gangs before, but we haven't seen anything like this event before," said police Cmdr. Pat Gannon.

Y'all ready for me? Ok Here I Come:

What in the name of Ju Ju Beans would possess a woman who is 8 months pregnant to get involved in a street fight? People use guns in street fights, people use knives, and now we know they use cars too.

So now the woman is dead, and her child is dead too; and for what? To gain bragging rights about who is the baddest b$@ch on the block?

It is obvious that the other girls in the brawl could have cared less about the welfare of the unborn child. Heck, it is obvious that the mother did not care either. The only things these retards cared about was settling a score; nothing more, nothing less.

Normally I would take the high road of going after the factors contributing to the social climate in our communities; however, this was more a case of personal irresponsibility and general stupidity on the part of the mother. At times it is best to just walk away from a situation. This crazy concept of "I ain't gonna let nobody play me" has got to stop. You are 20 years old, and you don't know everything. You replace common sense with street smarts, and the fact of the matter is being street smart is just plain dumb. When God gives a woman a child to carry, he entrusts her with the future of mankind. I guess the future does not mean much to some people.

You can probably tell I am a little more than just upset over this article. Just a little common sense would have kept a woman alive, and introduced a new baby into the world. One final thought, she was eight months pregnant. I wonder if that child would have been born on December 25th?
