Orem woman gives birth in middle of intersection

AMERICAN FORK, Utah (AP) — An Orem woman is crediting twin sisters for helping her deliver her new baby in her car as it was stopped in an intersection.

Emily Acor tells Salt Lake City’s KSL-TV that she and her new daughter, Sophia, were resting at home Monday after the eventful delivery.

Acor says she and her mother were heading to the hospital Friday evening in American Fork when her water broke.

They stopped the car in the middle of an intersection and Acor’s mother flagged down two women for help.

Sisters Ashley Haws and Adrienne Braun helped deliver Sophia.

Acor, who has two other children, says she now considers them part of the family.
