John Coughlin says he'll fight the ticket, but the state
police say it was deserved. Coughlin hit a speed of 102 mph on Sept. 18 as he
rushed to a Manchester hospital with his wife. When a trooper tried to stop
them, the Coughlins called 911 and said the baby was coming. The trooper then
turned the pursuit into a hospital escort.
WMUR-TV says baby Kyle was born six
minutes after they reached the hospital. The trooper congratulated Coughlin on
the birth of his son and then handed him a ticket. State Police Maj. Russell
Conte says the trooper did the right thing, contending Coughlin put his wife,
unborn child, himself and the public at risk.
