A UK couple say a mother gives birth in a KFC parking lot while rushing to a hospital, and the newborn is born safely. Multiple outlets report that the family later names the baby “Cody” and uses the fast-food chain’s “Colonel Cody” nickname.
The accounts describe the same unexpected delivery but differ slightly in emphasis. One outlet focuses on the unusual setting in the KFC car park and the fast-food-themed naming. Another adds that the mother was initially sent home by a hospital, then returned a few hours later and delivered in the car park while driving back. Both stories frame the naming as being tied to KFC’s founder, the “Colonel.”
KFC is also reported to respond to the incident, with offers that include themed merchandise and vouchers. The family reportedly plans to mark the child’s first birthday and may treat the event as a memorable personal milestone. The outlets agree on the core facts: the hospital-to-car-park sequence, the safe birth, and the “Colonel Cody” name.
