Christmas Lights Illuminate Baby's Roadside Delivery

KALAMAZOO (AP) - Decorative Christmas lights have helped illuminate the emergency birth of a Plainwell couple's fourth child.

MLive.com reports that Bill Hux had been rushing his pregnant wife to Borgess Medical Center early Monday morning when she told him to pull over. Hux quickly chose the brightest house he could see, which he said was strewn with snowmen, sleighs, lighted snowflakes and fully trimmed with Christmas lights.

Carla Hux had nearly given birth to their daughter by the time her husband opened the passenger door. The couple wrapped the newborn and called emergency responders to the scene.

According to Bill Hux, no one ever emerged from the house to check on the scene. He says he may return one day to explain what happened.
