A baby boy is born in a car at an Esso petrol station in Sedgefield, County Durham, before his mother reaches hospital. Sarah Frost, 29, goes into labour while travelling to hospital and her car is forced to pull into the forecourt of the station. According to reports, her son, Albie, is delivered in the vehicle on Sunday evening with help from Danielle Charlton, who is described as assisting during the birth. Nurses reportedly refer to the child as the “Esso garage baby,” reflecting where the delivery takes place. The accounts describe the birth occurring in the back of the father’s car while they are at the petrol forecourt, with the mother unable to complete the journey to the hospital in time. The sources agree on the main details: the location (an Esso station in Sedgefield), the timing (Sunday evening), the mother’s age (29), the baby’s name (Albie), and that the delivery happens in the car prior to reaching hospital.
