Baby Girl Delivered on I-93

First responders delivered the baby during Thursday morning's rush hour.

Four first responders helped to deliver a baby girl in the I-93 breakdown lane during Thursday morning’s rush hour.

Bedford firefighters responded to a call at about 8:30 a.m. Thursday for a woman in labor. Two firefighters and two Armstrong Ambulance paramedics then attempted to transport the woman to a Boston hospital, but the baby apparently didn’t feel like waiting.

The Bedford ambulance pulled over near the Sullivan Square exit on I-93 South, and the first responders delivered the baby right there.
