Her confidence quickly disappeared when her water broke in their car traveling on I-96.
Hannah told Kaleb to pull over along the freeway, west of Plainfield Avenue, at 2:30 a.m. April 1.
“Ten to 15 seconds after her water broke, the baby was coming,” Kaleb Pluchinsky said.
It was six weeks before the expected birth date.
The young father doesn’t recall all the details of what happened next, except for running around to the passenger side and seeing the baby’s feet already emerging. However, by the end of those frantic moments, the couple had a new passenger inside the car with them.
