Officers deliver baby girl on highway
AUSTIN, Texas (KXAN) — Several Austin motorcycle officers helped
delivery a baby during the morning drive time on Mo-Pac. Austin
motorcycle officers Stephen Hines, Deats Burbank and James Morgan were
in the 2500 block of South Mo-Pac trying to assist a stalled motorist
when a van pulled up and the male driver frantically waved the
officers over. The driver is deaf, but managed to communicate to
officers this his deaf wife was about to give birth.
The officers called Austin/Travis-County EMS and Austin Fire
Department to respond to the scene. The baby had already crowned and
the officers were able to safely deliver a baby girl. After a
successful delivery, Officer Burbank removed his police jacket and
covered the baby to keep her warm until EMS arrived. EMS transported
the mother and baby to North Austin Medical Center where mother and
baby are doing fine.
The mother, Denise Egbert, was interviewed via a translator Thursday
afternoon. “I felt the baby’s head crown, I could feel the baby’s head
come out,” said Egbert. “I told my husband pull over, pull over, any
place you have to park and help.”
“It really happened very fast,” said officer Stephan Hines. “From the
time I got up to the car, the head was already out, as I mentioned.
And the baby was out within 15 seconds after that. So, it all happened
really quick.”
