A Roxborough woman gave birth to a baby girl on a sled Tuesday morning, ABC Philadelphia reports.

The woman, Shirley Kim Bonanni of Cinnamon Drive, woke up with contractions, and, according to ABC Philadelphia, started on her way to the hospital.

Her husband, Fabian Bonnani, placed her on a sled fearing it would be too slippery outside for her to walk safely from the house to the car, but, according to ABC Philadelphia, she never made it to the car.

Bonanni gave birth to a healthy baby girl right there in her front yard on the sled, ABC reports.
