Bakersfield, Calif.
Officers helped with a special delivery on a rural road in California over the weekend.
California Highway Patrol officers in Buttonwillow, a small community outside of Bakersfield, were called to a medical emergency on state route 119 last Saturday.
Arriving officers said they found a woman in labor inside a car pulled to the side of the road.
Officer Pence and Officer Krahn put their training to work and “delivered a beautiful baby girl” at about 7:30 a.m., according to the department.
The CHP Central Division shared photos of the officers with the baby girl, including first responders holding the new baby wrapped in a yellow tarp.
Authorities said mom and baby were taken to a hospital and are doing well.
