two minutes right now. the husband seemed to be very grateful that the traffic stop did take place because it was almost like a load got taken off of his shoulders that there was help there. fortunately, deputy cox is a trained paramedic in davis county. it s a requirement for his job. but he wonders if they need an ambulance. please! does she have an urge to push? can she feel the baby coming out? yes, i can feel it! the deputy moves to the other side of the car to examine the wife. she was in the front passenger s seat, and the husband was driving. and in the back seat was her mother that was visiting from out of town, and they also had their little 3-year-old boy in the back seat. i positioned her so i could take a look, and i could see the top of the baby s head. okay. is the baby s head out? i don t know. okay. has your water broke? yeah. all of their questions that they were answering was
indicating that this baby is coming out right now. do you feel like you can get up to the hospital okay, or do you want an ambulance? there s an ambulance right here. oh, please, yes. do you want an ambulance? deputy cox calls an ambulance, but he suspects that this baby is going to get here faster than anything on wheels. it s a critical moment. he ll have to deliver this baby himself. fortunately, he has a birth kit in his truck for such emergencies. okay. let me go get my bag. hold on. don t leave. don t leave? she s unlikely to be going anywhere right now. i went and got my paramedic gear. this was 32 degrees. i didn t have any light. i didn t have any help. how far is the hospital? if you feel like you have to push, you go ahead and push. this event was taking place so fast i actually didn t have time to get the gear out. i had just enough time to put on my latex exam gloves. three minutes after he made
syringe. open your legs. open. okay. seven minutes after the traffic stop, the baby is here. we need suction. right after the baby was delivered, we need to suction out the baby s airway. and you can hear right after we do the baby starts to cry. oh, boy! just as the baby emerges, the ambulance pulls up. but deputy cox has got everything under control. oh, boy. baby s delivered. you ve got the blankets? yep. one last step remains, cutting the umbilical cord. but no one has scissors. we just have a straight scalpel to cut the umbilical cord so i cut it for them, and i don t think that they minded at that point in time. okay. we re free.
all right. we re going to get you going in the ambulance, okay, with your baby. we re going to go to the hospital, okay? all right. the ecstatic husband seems to be doing a victory lap. he wanted to see the baby, see his wife. he just wanted to be everywhere. he was just a very proud dad at that point. after everything is done, mom and baby are loaded into the ambulance. on a daily basis we come across events maybe not quite like this. it s a gorgeous little girl, and everybody s healthy now. this is one on-camera traffic stop that neither deputy cox nor the family he pulled over will ever forget. and, for the family caught on camera, this is a unique birth video. that was a night! coming up more kids, but this time they re driving. i could see it was a very young male driver. and i m talking young. and then
