Baby girl can’t wait as mom gives birth on Interstate 229

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A baby girl who just couldn’t wait to get to the hospital was born in the family sport utility vehicle on Interstate 229.

Kate Howell was born May 7 as her parents Ann and Dan Howell were trying to make the hour drive from their home in Volga to Sioux Falls.

Ann Howell realized they wouldn’t make it, and Kate was born before paramedics arrived.

The Argus Leader reports (https://argusne.ws/2rdXSYb ) that Dan is a certified EMT and was able to provide medical care until other help arrived.

Now, the family is home from the hospital and looking forward to share the story of Kate’s birth with her when she gets older.

Kate is the couple’s third child.
