Father delivers baby daughter alongside metro-area highway

By
SNELLVILLE - Marc Rowell was being a good husband and father -- driving his pregnant wife Stephanie 23 miles from their home in Good Hope to a Snellville hospital for her 37-week check-up. <br> <br> Little did they know he would end up delivering tiny Brooke -- not due for another three weeks -- in the car on the side of the highway. <br> <br> At 8:30 a.m. Tuesday on U.S. Highway 78, the 24-year-old second-time mom felt the undeniable pains of labor. <br> <br> She said, ``I just yelled, &#39;Pull over, pull over! She&#39;s coming!&#39;&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Pulling quickly to the side of the road, 26-year-old Marc raced around the car and opened the passenger side door. Then he called 911. <br> <br> Mrs. Rowell said, ``We tried to get in the back (seat), but there was no time.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Five minutes later, rescue personnel arrived to find seven-pound, one-ounce baby Brooke in the arms of her grinning father. After cutting the cord and checking the vitals of mother and baby, emergency workers took them to the hospital.
