A woman in southwestern China's Chongqing municipality gave birth to her child on an expressway after being kicked out of her vehicle by the car's driver, who found the idea of a woman giving birth in his car somewhat ominous, Chongqing Morning post reported on Monday.
The woman was on her way to the hospital with her family when the incident occurred. However, her water broke while they were still on the expressway. The driver, a friend of the woman's, then asked her and her family to get out of the car and wait for emergency personnel.
Unfortunately, the pregnant woman's nervous husband gave the wrong location to the emergency workers when he called to ask for help; therefore, the workers did not arrive in time.
Luckily, the woman and her family came across on-duty traffic law enforcement officers, who again called the emergency center and asked for help. As the woman was already on the verge of giving birth, they also asked some experienced women on-site for help. The baby was born before emergency personnel arrived.
After initial check-ups, both the woman and the baby are in good condition. The woman's husband thanked the law enforcement officers, saying he couldn't imagine what would have happened if they hadn't been there to help.
