Seriously, this happened again…
Just three weeks ago YWN reported that an off-duty NJ State Trooper had delivered a baby on the side of the Northbound Garden State Parkway, and now once again NJSP saved the day!
According to the NJ State Police, two Troopers helped a woman deliver a baby girl on the right shoulder of the Garden State Parkway north in Hillside Township early Monday morning.
At 4:14 a.m., the expecting mother was being driven to a Hospital by her husband when she realized they were not going to make it. The couple stopped on the shoulder at milepost 143.2 and dialed 9-1-1.
When Trooper II Alex Muro and Trooper Arnaldo Mateo arrived shortly after being dispatched, they found mom-to-be already in labor in the back seat of the car. At 4:26 a.m., Tpr. Mateo was cradling a newborn baby girl. Both troopers assisted with cutting the umbilical cord before handing her over to mom.
Mom and baby were transported by Union County Hatzolah to the hospital where they were Boruch Hashem doing well.
The NJSP jokingly added in their statement “These recent newborns should form a club when they’re older”…
Little do they know that they are part of a club already….

Thank you very much to the Hatzalah Members of Union County that were on scene with in minutes of being contacted and transporting both patients to the hospital 4:30am.
@YWN please do not forget to thank hatzalah for what they did on that call they were there almost instantly after being dispatched!!!!!!
This should be a message to Dr. Frank Vozos (President and CEO of Monmouth). BUILD A STATE OF THE ART MATERNITY WARD (and all of the required trimmings along with top of the line doctors) IN YOUR LAKEWOOD CAMPUS of Monmouth (formerly Kimball Hospital)!! I recently heard (didn’t corroborate) that there are well over 100 babies born in Lakewood each week. I guarantee that Dr. Vozos will not have any trouble getting customers!!
Goldbond, kudos to Hatzallah AND 911 and local law enforcement, as well.
Nice to see police officers bringing a life into this world instead of taking a life from this world.
What about the girls from Ezras Nashim?
