Stranger Birth At Gas Station In Wisconsin
Savon Quintrell Conecin, a 7 pound 2 ounce boy, was born on a Tuesday on the floor of an Interstate gas station in Somers Wisconsin while his parents Shantina Conecin and Robert Conecin sought directions to a hospital. The clerk dialed 911 and a dispatcher guided the couple through the birth as the baby arrived beside snacks and cigarettes. Nearby Romanian politics feature a clash over plans for a Dracula theme park in Transylvania, tied to Vlad the Impaler legends.
