A crowdfunding campaign to support the grieving family of a pregnant mother killed in a high-speed crash in Hobart has surpassed its $120,000 target in just two days.
Sarah Paino, 24, was driving home after dropping her partner Daniel Stirling off to work at a Hobart bakery when her car was hit at 1am on Friday.
It is alleged a stolen SUV failed to stop at the intersection of Davey and Argyle streets.
The fundraising campaign set up on Friday night by Mr Stirling's employer has already raised $145,726 by Sunday afternoon.
Almost 3000 people have donated to the cause with many offering words of support to the grieving family.
"Being the mother of a toddler myself, this story broke my heart. Even more so when I found out that it was someone I went to school with! My thoughts and prayers are with Daniel and family," Telli Armstrong said along with her donation.
Ms Paino, who was 32 weeks pregnant, died at the scene of the crash, while her two-year-old boy, who was also in the car, survived the crash with minor injuries.
Her baby boy was later delivered by doctors at the Royal Hobart Hospital, where he remains in intensive care.
It's believed Mr Stirling has remained at his baby's bedside since the crash.
More than 150 people turned out for a candlelight vigil at the crash site in Hobart on Saturday night.
Four teenagers, aged between 12 and 15, have been charged in relation to the smash, with the 15-year-old alleged driver charged with manslaughter and stealing a car.
