911 call: 'Baby's here, I gotta go!'

January 25, 2013 (CICERO, Ill.)

Hector Morales and his fiancee Kathryn Engel were on their way to west suburban hospital Wednesday morning.

But they were stopped as police investigated a deadly crash. The baby wouldn't wait, so Morales called 911.

"My fiancee is giving birth right now," Morales tells the 911 operator. "I'm heading to the hospital now but I don't think I'm going to make it. I'm at the corner of Roosevelt and 49th. Baby's here, I gotta go!"

Morales and Engel are the proud parents of a little boy named Aidan and everyone was okay.
