Item: North Idaho baby born after wild ride on I-90/KXLY
More Info: By the time they reached the top of Fourth of July Pass, Jo Ann’s contractions were two minutes apart. Adren tried to call 911, but he could not get a signal until he reached the bottom of the pass near Wolf Lodge. Then, with the 911 operator on the line, Adren quickly took the Sherman Avenue Exit, and pulled into a gas station, where they met Jeff Fletcher and other paramedics with the Coeur d’Alene Fire Department. Once inside the ambulance it only took a few minutes for the baby to decide it was time to come out.
Question: Anyone out there have a child who was born in an odd place?

Would this imminent birth be connected to the scanner reporting a car doing 100 mph on I-90?

A more interesting question would be:
“Do any of you have a child who was conceived in a odd place?”
Er. Maybe not.

My four children were all conceived in the same place.
