NEW YORK, April 19 A baby girl arrived in real New York style when her mother gave birth in the back seat of a taxi en route to a hospital in Queens.

David and Elizabeth Pilamuraya thought they had allowed enough time for the trip to Flushing Hospital, The Daily News reported Thursday. But their new daughter, Kelly Abigail, arrived while the driver was on the Horace Harding Expressway.

The driver pulled over and used his cell phone to call 911.

By the time an ambulance got to the scene, Pilamuraya was holding his newborn daughter. The ambulance attendants cut the umbilical cord and loaded Elizabeth Pilamuraya and the baby into the ambulance while her husband finished the trip in the cab, The Daily News reported.

Mother and daughter are reported to be doing well.
