"My focus was to rush her to the hospital, where she could get help. While crying hysterically and on her feet, she asked me to stop as the baby was on the way.
"She feared that her baby might drop and possibly die, I stopped the car and ordered her to lie on the seat, and from there, I could see the little head. She pushed, and I pulled the baby out before driving and dropping her off at the hospital with the little one."
The mother and the baby girl have been confirmed to be doing well and recovering in Benedictine hospital.
