A Knox woman ended up having a baby in the backseat of a car Monday, before she could make it to the hospital.
The Northwest Indiana Times says it happened shortly after 9:00 a.m. in Valparaiso. The woman’s husband was driving her to Porter Regional Hospital, when he had to pull over near State Road 49 and Vale Park Road. The 32-year-old woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy with no complications.
Valparaiso Fire Department paramedics arrived a few minutes later. They provided routine care, before the mother and son were taken to the hospital.
The woman, whose name has not been released, told the fire department that this was her third child but her first boy.
