MURRAY — This year will be a Thanksgiving to remember for one Utah family, after a woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl on the shoulder of I-15 in Murray Thursday afternoon.

Transportation officials said a "medical incident" blocked the right lane of the northbound exit ramp near 5300 South just after 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Mike Alexander said a baby girl was born on the shoulder of the freeway.

"Mom and baby are being transported to the hospital now," he said.
