A soon-to-be born baby just couldn't wait to be delivered early Sunday morning in Twinsburg.

Twinsburg paramedics were called at about 4:35 Sunday morning for a pregnant woman having contractions.

The plan was to transport her to Hillcrest Hospital... when the incoming baby had other ideas.

That sent the crew of paramedics Alan Sibits and Earl Wilson heading to Cleveland Clinic's Twinsburg emergency room...but they didn't make it there.

They DID deliver a baby boy - 6 pounds 13.2 ounces - in the back of the med unit as it was traveling down Hadden Road.

Both mother and baby are said to be doing well.
