Scene of the incident
Police believe that a 35-year-old man known to Ms Broadbent had threatened to assault her before she fell from the moving car.
According to neighbour Ivan Sucic, a man left Ms Broadbent and her partner's house before he "jumped in the car, slammed the door when he went in."
He said he heard the pregnant woman scream, and assumed it was at the same man.
