A Rhode Island state trooper responding to a call of a medical emergency on Route 146 ended up delivering a baby on the highway in Lincoln.

Police said when trooper Matthew Salisbury arrived at the scene early Wednesday, he saw a man standing outside his pick-up truck and yelling that a woman in the passenger seat was delivering a baby.

Salisbury helped turn the infant while the mother pushed for a final time, then he removed the umbilical cord from the baby’s neck and helped the child to breathe.

The mother and baby are reported to be healthy and resting comfortably at a hospital.
