Charges filed in crash that led to emergency C-section Eds: APNewsNow. MAHNOMEN, Minn.

Prosecutors in northwestern Minnesota have formally charged the teenage driver of a car that hit a pregnant woman's vehicle and prompted an emergency Caesarean section.

The 16-year-old Mahnomen girl is charged with two counts of criminal vehicular operation, one count of reckless driving and one count of inattentive driving.

The charges stem from a crash May 3 on Minnesota Highway 200. Authorities say the teen's vehicle collided with an SUV driven by 20-year-old Aimee Aguilar of Detroit Lakes. Aguilar's son, Jordan, was delivered that night by emergency C-section.

Aimee Aguilar was told her newborn son might not survive, after a vehicle crash last month led to his delivery by emergency Caesarean section. Now she likes what she hears.

"You know how parents -- you know, they don't like to hear their kids cry," Aimee Aguilar said Wednesday, shortly before 1-month-old Jordan was released from a Fargo hospital. "Well, when he cries it's a blessing. It's a good feeling."

Jordan was born with signs of brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation, and hospital officials say his future is still uncertain. But he has been able to tolerate feedings and maintain his temperature in an open crib.

Kenneth Andersen's older brother was called to testify Wednesday in the younger sibling's first-degree murder trial.
