Woman gives birth on roadside after hospital allegedly sent her home: Family

An Indiana woman's family claims she was wheeled out of a hospital in active labor, forcing her to give birth on the side of a road.

Relatives of Mercedes Wells told ABC station WLS in Chicago she was discharged from Franciscan Health Crown Point Hospital in Crown Point on Sunday, as hospital staff told her to go home to wait for her labor to progress. She then gave birth eight minutes later on the side of the road, the family told the affiliate.
