STRONGSVILLE, Ohio (WJW) – It’s been a week, and they now have time to reflect on a funny joke that turned into a crazy reality.

In the early-morning hours of Friday, Sept. 20, Prescilla Adillo, of Valley City, gave birth to her daughter Paisley on the side of I-71 North in Strongsville.

Paisley was delivered by her dad Branden and grandma Nicole Nagy while they took instructions over the phone from a 911 dispatcher.

They were heading for Metro Health Center in Cleveland, but Priscilla told FOX 8 that she could tell her daughter was ready to make her entrance into the world.

Once paramedics arrived, they helped Branden cut the umbilical cord and then got everyone safely to a nearby hospital.

Now, the Adillos have a crazy story to tell, but the background makes it even more memorable.
