KOB-TV reports that a couple driving from Grants, N.M., to Albuquerque pulled into the parking lot of the Route 66 Casino because the woman was going into labor.
With the help of a police dispatcher on the other end of the phone line, the father helped his wife deliver the baby right there. Mother and child are now said to be doing well.
For the rest of its life, the child can now brag that it got its first kicks on Route 66.
