When she started having contractions over the weekend, Andrenna Reid, of King of Prussia, thought she would have enough time to make it to the hospital, according to a staff report from 6 ABC Philadelphia.

However, her newborn son, Santana Reid, had other ideas.

Reid felt her contractions quickening around 3 AM on Father’s Day, while her husband was at work. She got into a car, but once she reached her exit, she realized she was not going to make it. She pulled over and made a 911 call which soon got cut off.

Reid delivered her son alone on a dark highway. Then a tow truck driver came to her aid.

“I get a knock on the door, and next thing you know it’s a tow truck driver,” said Reid. “He says, ‘Do you need help, is everything ok?’ I was like, ‘Oh no, I just had a baby.'”

He called emergency responders and soon state troopers and EMTs arrived. They took the family to Jefferson Abington Hospital.

And while she did not get the name of the tow truck driver, Reid said she was very grateful he had stopped.
