Emergency services were able to arrive just in time to assist with the birth.As NB C Bay Area reports, the unexpected delivery got underway after the family got stuck in heavy traffic, compelling them to pull over and call 911. The San Francisco Fire Department reports that the birth began around 4:40 pm and that paramedics ultimately choose to park two blocks from the scene and run the rest of the way to reach their patient.Ultimately, ABC7 notes, emergency services in the form of SFFD Paramedic Engine 14 and AMR Unit 110 were able to make it in time to assist with the delivery. Both mother and daughter were then subsequently transported to a local hospital.In a statement, SFFD offered its congratulations to the family while welcoming their new child into the world."Her arrival is a true testament to the dedication, compassion and teamwork of our first responders," the statement continued.As SFist previously reported, back in 2016, a woman who later acknowledged she wasn't aware she was pregnant gave birth in Golden Gate Park's Rose Garden.Related: Woman Who Gave Birth In Golden Gate Park Didn't Realize She Was Pregnant ...read more read less
