Baby boy born during rush hour on Interstate 270

A woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy alongside southbound Interstate 270 around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service spokesman Pete Piringer said.

A Kensington-Parkwood Elementary School health-room technician named Tammi Fischer on her way to work pulled over to help with the delivery after she spotted the father-to-be frantically trying to call for help on a cell phone, Piringer said.
