Summary
9:35 p.m. on Aug. 29, Stephen Kirby delivered his son Cody in the front seat of a car after pulling into a KFC parking lot in Bromsgrove, England, while racing Katie Murphy to the hospital.
A 30-minute return trip turned urgent when Murphy’s contractions intensified halfway there; Kirby, on the phone with emergency services, stopped at a KFC they knew when the baby began to arrive.
Five minutes later, paramedics reached the couple and took mother and baby to hospital; Murphy said Cody was healthy despite what she called his abrupt entrance.
KFC’s role in the birth earned the newborn the nickname 'Colonel Cody,' and the chain said it was sending the family merchandise and vouchers to celebrate.
