A Utah couple welcomed their fourth child into the world on the side of Interstate 15, coached through the delivery by a 911 dispatch operator.
KUTV-TV reports that Kristin Allred of Eagle Mountain gave birth to her 8.4-pound baby girl, Anne, in the family truck on Friday.
She says she and her husband were about six miles from the hospital when her body told her she needed to push, but the baby came out with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck.
Her husband Shay had called 911. Dispatcher William Kalaher was able to walk the couple through helping the baby breathe. Paramedic arrived about five minutes later.
Kalaher has only been taking solo calls for two weeks. He says the first thing he did after the delivery was call his mom.
