It’s a birthday that one Montgomery County family will never forget.
A day after NBC10 first told you about the amazing rush-hour baby delivered on the side of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, NBC10 got the exclusive first look at little Bradley King-Megerman.
Father Josh was merging into traffic on the Turnpike when mother Rachel said the baby was coming -- they weren’t going to make it to the hospital in time.
Bradley -- who was three days late -- seemingly was making up for lost time.
So Josh pulled the Prius over onto the side of the highway and called 9-1-1. He would have to deliver his own son.
“For him to follow directions, he did a fabulous job,” said John Geib, Montgomery County Deputy Director of Emergency Communications.
Josh delivered his healthy 7-pound, 14-ounce baby boy in the front seat of the Prius on the side of the road at mile-marker 336.7 in Whitemarsh.
