Mother Delivers Baby After Crash In Manchester, NH
MANCHESTER, N.H. (CBS) -- A pregnant mother run off a New Hampshire road Tuesday morning was forced to give birth two months early.
Doctors performed an emergency C-section after their car flipped over multiple times.
When you see the video, it's almost incomprehensible that the man and woman in the car that goes airborne survived.
Brittany Beaudoin's own father still can't believe it. "I'm still a little jeery," Eric Turner says. "I mean, it was a crazy ride over here not knowing anything at all."
"Watching that surveillance, it does look like he was chasing another car in a race, trying to catch them," Turner says. "I just can't imagine racing on these streets out here."
Brittany and her husband Denis were on their way home from a doctor's appointment Tuesday when the crash happened.
"He just said there was a car that pushed him off the road and into a pole," Turner said. "He said it was like the car was coming at him faster for some reason instead of trying to stop."
Both were ejected and time was of the essence because Brittany was eight months pregnant.
"The baby is now doing well. A little help breathing, but other than that, he's doing real well," Turner says.
Within hours, this family of two became a family of three when the Manchester woman delivered Aiden nearly two months early.
The new parents suffered broken bones and dislocations but will spend this Christmas, Aiden's original due date, with their first child knowing all too well, miracles really do happen.
"I told my son-in-law, 'this isn't how you do it!' It's not the way to do it, but they got it done! Not the conventional way."
The other driver involved in the crash has not been charged.
