Mass. troopers deliver parking-lot baby
QUINCY, Mass., (UPI) -- Two Massachusetts state troopers will remember their Saturday shift after they helped deliver a baby girl just off Interstate 93 in Quincy.
The officers responded to an emergency 911 call shortly before noon from a 50-year-old man who said he was driving his pregnant wife to the hospital but that they were not going to make it. The woman was experiencing rapid contractions when the troopers reached their Jeep Grand Cherokee in a parking lot near Exit 8 just off the expressway
"It was her third child, so she knew she was in active labor," State Police Officer Vincent Noe told the Boston Globe.
The baby, a healthy girl, was delivered in the Jeep's front seat before Emergency Medical Services paramedics could reach the scene. The mother and infant were taken to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
