. Tractor Delivery

Linda Wertheimer talks with Kristine Larson of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Larson gave birth to a healthy baby boy yesterday after being driven part way to a hospital on the back of a tractor. Snow drifts of up to eight feet prevented an ambulance from reaching Larson. The tractor, equipped with a bucket loader, dug itself a path to a highway where an ambulance was waiting.
