A California couple’s Uber ride took an unexpected turn after a woman gave birth inside the car.
Niv Davidovich told ABC News that minutes after entering the backseat of the car, his wife, Erica, gave birth to a son.
“Everyone is telling us to name the baby Uber,” Niv Davidovich joked. “But we can’t do that -- as much fun as it would be."
Davidovich, 37, a father of three, said that the couple was at home lighting candles for Shabbat on Friday night, when Erica began to experience strong contractions. Because Davidovich and his wife do not drive while observing the Sabbath, he said he called Uber to bring them to the hospital. He also wanted to be able to comfort Erica in the backseat, he added.
We're hearing from the woman and how the couple reconnected with their driver, on Channel 2 Action News This Morning.
