CHP Officer Helps Deliver Baby on LA Freeway


Recommended Posts

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A woman has given birth to a healthy baby girl -- on a Los Angeles freeway.

The California Highway Patrol said Wednesday that Officer DeShawn Cobbs and his partner were assisting at a highway maintenance closure on eastbound Interstate 10 late Tuesday when a car pulled into the blocked-off area requesting assistance.

The driver, the pregnant woman's sister, shouted to officers that her sister was having a baby.

The CHP says when Cobbs opened the rear door of the vehicle he saw that the woman was in labor.

He says he saw the baby's head, asked the mom to give another push, and a baby girl was born.

The CHP says mother and baby were taken to a hospital where they are reported to be in good condition.
