Woman wrecks her car then gives birth to kid?

A woman who crashed her car gave birth alone inside her vehicle.

Authorities said 21-year-old Kenyetta Biggs was driving herself to the hospital when she had a strong contraction and lost control of the car. It landed in a canal where she was forced to give birth to her daughter.

Deputy Stephen Maxwell was driving to work and saw a human head showing behind the foliage. He stopped and found the woman, who had just given birth, trying to get out of the car. He asked her if she was OK, and she said she thought her leg was broken. She asked him to check on her baby. Maxwell said he had been expecting a baby to be in a car seat in the back. Instead, he found a newborn in the front seat.

"As I looked around her I saw the newborn baby laying in the passenger seat with the placenta and umbilical cord still attached," Maxwell told the Florida Sun Sentinel.

Maxwell and another deputy pried open the door to free Biggs and placed the baby on her stomach. Another deputy cut the umbilical cord.

Biggs broke a leg, but authorities said she and the baby girl, named Myracle, are doing well.

It turned out that Biggs had kept her pregnancy a secret from her family, which is why she was trying to drive herself to the hospital, the paper reported. Kenneth Biggs said he figured his daughter didn't tell relatives she was pregnant because she was afraid of their reaction. He said none of that matters now. Article here.
