The Porters said they called authorities and baby Bradley Porter was born in the back seat of their vehicle with the assistance of village police officer Michael Courson. They said an ambulance soon arrived to take mother and baby to the hospital, where Bradley weighed in at 8 pounds.

"That was our only option," Greg Porter said of the roadside birth. "The little one decided that he couldn't wait any longer. He's got a heck of a story to tell."
