11. A Dead Wife and a Stranger in the Car
A husband and his pregnant wife sped through the streets in their car. They screeched to a halt, and the man jumped out for just a moment. When he returned, his wife was dead—and a person he had never seen before was sitting in the car beside her.

Hint: Think about why they were in such a hurry.
Solution:
The couple was racing to the hospital because the wife was in labor. The husband stopped the car at the hospital entrance and ran inside to get medical help. In the brief time he was gone, the woman gave birth in the car but tragically died during childbirth. When the husband returned, he found his wife dead and their newborn baby—a complete stranger to him up to that moment—lying in the car.

Wife was pregnant and gave birth to her child(stranger). But unfortunately she didn't survive after the delivery.
The term 'stranger' is misleading. A newborn should be referred to as 'someone else' or 'another person' as they are part of the family.
