CINCINNATI -- Damon Porter said it was a wonder he didn't crash the car -- after all, his wife was giving birth in the passenger seat and the baby's head was beginning to crown.

As things turned out, Morgan Sanaa Porter was born in the emergency lane of Interstate 71: a healthy baby weighing 7 pounds, 4 ounces.

"I apologize to all those drivers out there who I might have cut off in traffic," Damon Porter said.

Morgan's due date was Sept. 16. Her mother, Lashyia, was getting ready for work Friday when her water broke.

Lashyia Porter said she was in labor for less than 45 minutes.

After the birth, the Porters called 911. A paramedic helped deliver the placenta and cut the cord. The mother and child were then taken to local hospital.
