Baby on board! Birth slows traffic on I-285 in Dunwoody
Atlanta traffic can be unpredictable at times. From traffic jams to construction and crazy drivers, but what happened on Tuesday morning doesn’t happen too often.
NewsChopper 2 caught a traffic jam on I-285 before Ashford Dunwoody Road, which was caused by the birth of a baby on the side of the road, according to Dunwoody police.
The right lane of the interstate was blocked for the expecting mother to give birth.
Dunwoody police told Channel 2 Action News that once they arrived the baby girl had already been born.
