NIdaho Baby Born After Wild Ride

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?
