‘Everything Went Right’ Says Dad Who Lost His Wedding Ring on the Highway While Delivering Newborn in Backseat
“Everything could have gone wrong, and everything went right,” were the concluding thoughts of Danya Mahota, new father for the second time.
It all started when his wife Rebecca, at 40 weeks pregnant, felt the contractions coming on fast and hard.
En route from their home in Brewster to the hospital in Plymouth, a 56-minute drive in the summertime traffic near Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Rebecca’s water broke.
As the saying goes, the second one comes quicker, and few could match the speed of little Summer, whose head was already out after the very next contraction. As that was happening, Mr. Mahota was pulling over on the side of the highway to help.
Summer was born there on the highway, and the Mahotas promptly sped off to the hospital with their newborn wrapped in a blanket.
Mahota was speaking with ABC affiliate WCVB in the aftermath of one of the most dramatic days of his life, and explained that at the hospital where Summer was pronounced healthy and complication-free, he noticed his wedding band had slipped off.

Days later, he returned to the highway to search for the personal treasure.
“Just as we were about to leave, I looked down, and by the grace of God, I found it right between my toes. I was scraping some grass away, and I just couldn’t believe it,” he told WCVB. “Everything could have gone wrong, and everything went right.”
