Per-Gunnar Andersson - The son of a rally driver born in the middle of a freeway

Although he has spent his life behind the wheel, the Swedish rally driver Per-Gunnar Andersson did not help his extensive experience with the car when his son decided to come to the world.

The pilot of 31 years was forced to stop at the curb of a road when he and his wife Marie-Louise realized that it would give them time to get to the hospital.

And although they called an ambulance, the child, named Alvin, was born in his BMW on a highway near Karlstad in western Sweden.

"It seems to carry in their genes," said the athlete to the local press.

And at least this time the newborn has proven to be very fast.
