Baby Evie is born on back seat of a taxi
A TAXI driver started a journey with three passengers and ended up with four after a baby was born on the back seat.
Mark Kermode, 45, was driving Stephanie Lynch, 26, to hospital when she told him: “Pull over. I can feel the baby coming.”
Mark pulled into a hotel car park as Stephanie’s partner, Stephen, 34, called the paramedics.
But before they could get there, Stephanie’s mum Claire, 47, had delivered 6lb 4oz Evie on the back seat.
Evie was blue as she had the umbilical cord wrapped twice around her neck, but Claire freed it.
Stephanie, of Dringhouses, York, said: “My mum is amazing. She saved Evie’s life”
Mark, of York Cars, said: “I felt a bit emotional.” THE man who filmed footie pundit Jamie Carragher spitting at his car with his 14-year-old daughter in the passenger seat says vile trolls have targeted him with death threats.
Liverpool legend Carragher has apologised several times, both publicly and privately, over the incident and been suspended from his job on Sky TV.
Andy Hughes, who shot the footage, has pleaded with the broadcaster not to axe him – and revealed he suffered attacks on social media after his name was published online yesterday.
He has decided to go public and appeal through the Mirror for the abuse to stop, for the sake of his family.
The 42-year-old, from North Wales, said: “We have been feeling under siege. It has been really worrying.
“I have received threats, death threats and all kinds of abuse, and I don’t know
