WINCHESTER, Ky. (LEX 18) — A couple traveling along the Mountain Parkway had to pull over to deliver their newborn, and they have a 911 dispatcher to thank for helping them out!

Winchester Police say Allison and Alan Keefer were heading to a hospital in Clark County while Allison was in labor.

"As fate would have it, the newborn was not interested in waiting to be delivered in a hospital and decided the side of the parkway was best," Winchester Police said in a Facebook post.

The dispatcher was able to help talk Alan through delivering baby Cillian into the world. Police say both the baby and the mother are doing well.
