On July 27, 2009, Wisconsin couple Matthew and Annmarie Schulte tried to reach Aurora Sinai Medical Center in time for the birth of their fourth daughter. But they didn’t quite make it.
The baby girl ended up being born on Interstate 43, in the front passenger seat of their 1998 Toyota Corolla.
They’d planned to name the baby Cecilia Violet Marie, but in honor of her unusual birthplace they settled upon Cecilia Freeway instead.
Cecilia’s three older sisters are named Megan, Millie, and Libby.
