Officer stops speeding SUV, helps deliver baby
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa City police officer pulled over a speeding SUV - then helped the driver and his passenger deliver a baby.
When Officer Kevin Wolfe stopped the vehicle Sunday night, the driver jumped out and yelled, "Sir, we're delivering a baby right here, right now!"
Wolfe tells Cedar Rapids TV station KCRG that by the time he reached the passenger door of the SUV, the baby's head and arms were already out. He assisted in the final stages of the delivery and wrapped the child in a blanket before escorting the family to a hospital.
The episode was captured by Wolfe's dashboard camera.
Police spokeswoman Vicki Lalla says Wolfe didn't issue a speeding ticket and so did not take down the parents' names.
For some reason this story reminds me of a scene in the movie "Men in Black". You know, where Will Smith delivers the squid?

Umm...can you say in need of a detail now?
Hahaha. Seems like the cop didn't know what to do except say, "Ok. Ok. Ok." :)
@Tattooed_Angel2That's better than I would have done. I'd probably have made some remark about the scene from Alien with stuff popping out of people and then I would have helpfully passed out from all the blood.
Mike usually there is no blood with a natural birth, there are some gooey things that happen after the baby comes out but its not really bloody.
@James Ozburn Hate to tell you there James, but a natural birth can indeed be quite bloody.  Sometimes they just don't want to come out the way their supposed to.  Ask me how I know.
@James Ozburn See, I would have done a horrible job. I do like cigars though!
