Indiana State Police troopers help deliver a baby on the side of I-65
The birth of a family's newborn child came a little sooner than expected Saturday morning, when the mother started to go into labor while traveling along I-65 in Tippecanoe County.
The family was still several miles away from a hospital when the mother went into labor.
The baby's father pulled over onto the I-65 southbound shoulder near the 163-mile marker in Tippecanoe County and called emergency services for help.
Just before 8:00 a.m., two Indiana State Police troopers responded to the call and, upon arrival, quickly determined that the baby was not going to wait for paramedics to help with his delivery.
That's when Troopers Fike and McCormick put their training to the test and helped deliver the family's baby boy on the side of the highway.
It's unclear how long the mother had been in labor before delivering her healthy baby boy, but shortly after giving birth, Tippecanoe County emergency medical services personnel arrived and transported the mother and newborn to a hospital.
"The Indiana State Police commend Troopers Fike and McCormick for their quick response, steady professionalism, and composure during a truly unforgettable moment," reads the news release from the Indiana State Police.
The name of the mother was not released at the time of reporting.

Kia issues recall on more than 80,000 cars. Here's what Kia K5 owners should know.
Kia has issued a recall for more than 80,000 cars after discovering an issue with the vehicles' parking lights. The vehicles' parking lights could have a software issue that causes them to flicker, potentially reducing the driver's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash, according to the recall notice. Here's what to know. The recall applies to about 82,000 Kia K5 cars in the 2025 model year, according to a recall notice submitted by the carmaker in late May and posted this week by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Impacted vehicles can have the issue remedied by an "over-the-air" software update, which can be downloaded directly to your Kia vehicle. Dealers can also fix the issue, the recall notice said. Owners will be notified via letter beginning June 24. Customers can also contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542 and mention the number for this recall, SC341. Story continues after photo gallery. The NHTSA recall database and USA TODAY's recall database for car and motor vehicle recalls are regularly updated with the latest status on recalls of vehicles, car parts or car accessories. Car owners can check if their vehicles have been recalled by either searching their car's make or model in USA TODAY's recall database or looking it up on NHTSA's website. The NHTSA website also allows you to search directly using your vehicle's license plate number or vehicle identification number. The site provides information about recalled car seats, tires and other equipment. If Kia owners have any questions about the recall, they can reach out to Kia Customer Support or their local Kia dealership: Ray Skillman Northeast Kia Ray Skillman Kia West Napleton Kia of Carmel Ray Skillman Southside Kia Napleton Kia of Fishers Andy Mohr Kia in Avon Melina Khan is a national trending reporter for USA TODAY.

IndyCar complete results: Kyle Kirkwood wins Detroit Grand Prix after Indy 500 winner Alex Palou crashes out
IndyCar complete results: Kyle Kirkwood wins Detroit Grand Prix after Indy 500 winner Alex Palou crashes out Kyle Kirkwood comes away from the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix with his second IndyCar Series victory of the year after he muscles past three cars late on a damaged wing. Kirkwood started 3rd, though he believes he had the best car and squandered a chance at pole position a day earlier. After the last round of pit stops, he picks off Marcus Armstrong, Kyffin Simpson and Santino Ferrucci on successive laps (76-78 of 100) to take the lead. Post-race, Kirkwood said his damaged wing didn't offer much of a problem. He also won at Long Beach. Ferrucci finishes a career-best 2nd, improving 19 places from his start. Pole-sitter Colton Herta completes the podium. They and 4th-place Will Power battle hard in the closing laps after a red flag as Kirkwood wins by 4+ seconds. Points leader Alex Palou crashes out and finishes 25th, down 20 spots from his start, but he retains a 90-point edge on Pato O'Ward in the season championship.

Lap 78: Kyle Kirkwood gets by Santino Ferrucci for the lead, but Kirkwood has left front wing damage. Lap 77: Kyle Kirkwood muscles by Kyffin Simpson for 2nd, and he stalks leader Santino Ferrucci. Lap 76 restart: Kyle Kirkwood gets by Marcus Armstrong for 3rd place. Lap 72 restart: David Malukas gets into the rear of Alex Palou, ending the points leader's day. Malukas likely faces a penalty. Caution again. Lap 70: Santino Ferrucci, Kyffin Simpson and Marcus Armstrong — who had pitted shortly before the caution — are the top 3 and may have enough fuel to make it to the end. Coming out of the pits, Kyle Kirkwood is 4th, with Will Power, Colton Herta and Alex Palou trailing. Lap 67 caution: Callum Ilott smashes the wall shortly after making a pit stop. Lap 60: Kyle Kirkwood leads, with Will Power, Colton Herta, Alex Palou and David Malukas completing the top 5. They are on hard tires. Pato O'Ward is 6th, but he started 18th and is on soft tires.

From Nathan Brown, IndyStar Picking Alex Palou is so obvious that we're barring him from this portion of the preview for a while.

Marcus Ericsson would have been 10th in points after crossing the finish line second in the Indianapolis 500, but he stands 20th after his car failed post-race tech inspection. He earned his lone podium finish in 2024 in Detroit, and with a similar performance this weekend, Ericsson makes up a lot of the ground he lost in the championship standings in Indy. Something you didn't see coming: At a track where he started on pole last year, but only finished 19th, Detroit seems like as good a track as any for Colton Herta to find some momentum. He sits just 9th in the championship standings with a single top-5 finish. However, the narrow streets of Detroit can be cruel, and somehow Herta and the No. 26 crew leave with a tough result unbecoming of the traditionally dominant street course program of Andretti Global.
