PITTSBURGH (KDKA) --- A newborn baby couldn't wait to enter the world early Tuesday morning.

The baby girl's father was driving the mother to a hospital around 2 a.m., but they didn't make it. Instead, the father had to pull over to the side of the Parkway East, near the Greenfield Bridge.

Paramedics were called to help her, but the baby was delivered before they could get to their location. An Allegheny County 911 operator provided instructions to the father during the delivery.

An ambulance transported the mother and her newborn baby to a hospital. Both were said to be doing well.
