Baby Born in Car After Police Officers Escort Indiana Couple to Hospital

This Valentine’s Day will be known as the year of a special “delivery” for a Milford, Indiana couple and two officers from the Indiana State Police and Milford Police Department. Josh and Katelyn Wuthrich were expecting a baby that decided to come early. The officers escorted the couple to Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital in the nick of time because baby Ellie was delivered in the front seat of the vehicle as they pulled into the parking lot. The Milford Police Department later gave Ellie a custom-made blanket with each department logo on it.
