More Heartbreak For Tony Award-Winning Actress After Daughter Killed

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A Tony Award-winning Actress whose daughter was hit and killed by a driver in Park Slope in March experienced yet another round of heartbreak.

Ruthie Ann Miles was pregnant when police say Dorothy Bruns struck and killed Miles' four-year-old daughter, Abigail, and 1-year-old Joshua Lew as they crossed an intersection with their mothers.

Miles' attorney confirmed Wednesday night that she lost the baby on Friday.

Her daughter was named Sophia Rosemary Wong Blumenstein, according to lawyer Ben Rubinowitz.

"The pain suffered by Ruthie and Jonathan is nearly impossible to fathom," Rubinowitz said in a statement sent to CBS2. "They are overwhelmed by the sadness of the deaths of their children."

Bruns has been charged with manslaughter, and told investigators she has multiple sclerosis and had a seizure before running the red light on March 5.
