A baby that was born in a Kia Carens on the way to hospital has been named after the people carrier.
Parents Tony Richardson, 24, and Samantha Smyth, 23, were en route to the labour ward when their daughter arrived as they pulled up outside Poole hospital.
As a result, they have abandoned plans to call their baby Tilley, and instead called her Kia.
On hearing the news, Kia contacted the family and gave them a free Kia Carens.
'Our old car has been playing up recently, and I'd said to my mum I wouldn't mind getting a Carens myself," said Samantha. "Now we've got one – and little Kia did it all herself!'
Baby Kia weighed in at 6lbs 7ozs and is reported to be well.
