Stuck in storm, but urgent delivery still got through

A woman gave birth on the stormbattered A66 near Darlington when her car became stranded in terrible conditions.

Sienna Waring was delivered by her father, Andrew, as he tried to get his wife, Daniella, to hospital. She was born near Stockton-on-tees moments before paramedics arrived at the scene at 9.10am.

Mr Waring, from Catterick, N Yorks, said: “Having been present at the birth of our two other children, I just copied what I had seen then. I opened the passenger door and knelt in the snow.”
