New Jersey couple Abdel Elkarhat and Soukaina Nekhlaoui expected to have a life-changing event come Jan. 7 when their second child was due. Little did they know their little bundle of joy would arrive nearly two weeks early.
Had they known that, Elkarhat probably would not have driven his wife through New York’s Holland Tunnel, which is exactly where Nekhlaoui delivered the couple’s newborn son early Wednesday morning.
“I was driving from home to Brooklyn to make it to the hospital and inside the Holland Tunnel my wife just started screaming, ‘The baby is coming out. The baby is coming out,” Elkarhat told ABCNews.com today. “I was panicked. I didn’t know what to do. Should I stop and call 911 or just keep driving and moving?”
