DARIEN, Illinois (WQAD) — A baby boy was born during rush hour on an interstate outside of Chicago.

Around 7:40 a.m. Wednesday, March 24, Illinois State Police troopers were called to a vehicle on Interstate 55 where a baby was being delivered, south of Darien, Illinois.

When troopers and paramedics arrived, the baby was already here.
