'One, Two, Three, Push!' State Troopers Help Deliver Baby On Garden State Parkway

HILLSIDE TOWNSHIP, NJ (CBS) – Police dash cams tend to capture crime, but this time, a dash cam in New Jersey captured a special delivery.

Two state troopers helped deliver a baby on the Garden State Parkway.

The expecting mother and her husband were heading to the hospital when they realized they were not going to make it.

They pulled over and called 911. The troopers quickly arrived and delivered the baby.

"One, two, three, push! There you go, keep going, " can be heard in the video.

Trooper Arnaldo Mateo says, "The father's first words at out of his mouth were, 'What is it?!' And at that point we're seeing the baby… and it's a girl."

Mother and daughter are both doing well.
