A Swedish newborn survived a car crash just seconds after her mother gave birth to her on the way to the hospital! New dad Mokhles Raheema was rushing wife Samaher Mezban and his two older children to the hospital after she went into labor. But apparently, they miscalculated just how much time they had because pretty soon Mezban was giving birth in the car.

"She told me, 'She's coming out, she's coming out!'" Raheema said. Understandably startled by the fast-paced labor, he turned around to see what was happening … only to then lose control of the vehicle! Just seconds after seeing his daughter "come out and fall onto the floor," he accidentally drove the car off the road and into a ditch.
When the vehicle came to a stop, his wife and the two kids were conscious in the backseat, but the infant girl had rolled under the passenger seat. Thankfully, both mom and baby are safe and sound now, after a passing motorist reportedly alerted emergency services who took the family to hospital.
Wow, that baby sure does know how to make an entrance! I don't blame the father for freaking out in the heat of the moment … but maybe he should've just pulled over instead of continuing to drive? Regardless, I'm just glad that everyone is fine and that the newborn wasn't hurt. Considering how tragic the scene could've been, it is truly a miracle that everyone is healthy and happy. Well, almost everybody: I imagine the friend who Raheema borrowed the now-totaled car probably isn't totally thrilled.
