Granddaughter Of Twisted Sister's Frontman Born On 405 Freeway
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Twisted Sister's frontman, Dee Snider, has been upstaged by his new granddaughter, who was born on the 405 Freeway in the Sepulveda Pass.
Snider's son, Jesse Blaze Snider, was driving his pregnant wife, Patty, from the San Fernando Valley to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Westwood on Sunday afternoon when she gave birth to Parker Pryde Snider in the car.
"We just had the baby in the car on the way to the hospital," Jesse Snider said in a video he posted on Instagram shortly after the birth.
He said the baby girl was born around 2:50 p.m.
"We were a little surprised by it all," he said on the video, which shows him in the driver's seat and Patty holding the baby in the passenger seat. "We waited a little too long to leave, I think. But the baby's healthy and already breast-feeding, and we love her."
Dee Snider took to Twitter to proclaim the birth, saying the girl weighed in at 8 pounds 10 ounces and was "delivered in the car on the 405 Fwy BY THE MOM (Viking), Patty Snider while the dad @tweetjesse drove!"
"Thanks to all for the love, positive messages and retweets on the freeway birth of my newest grandchild Parker (Pryde) Snider," he wrote. The child is the couple's fourth.
