(CNN) Mashayla Harper was nearly killed on her way home from her baby shower after what police say was a hit-and-run. A service for her unborn daughter was held Wednesday, but she was unable to attend because she has been in the hospital since Saturday's crash. She was going to be a spoiled baby," Harper's father, Maurice Pruitt Sr., told CNN Wednesday. Thirty minutes after her baby shower in Jones County, Mississippi, Pruitt says he received a hysterical phone call from Mashayla's mother, Chandra Harper. She asked someone what happened up ahead and a driver told her a pregnant woman had just got into a car accident.
