Woman gives birth to healthy daughter in own car

On Saturday evening, a woman gave birth to a healthy baby-daughter in her car near the Moravian town of Břeclav before an ambulance could arrive. A passerby helped the woman, who started giving birth earlier than expected. The woman’s 11-year-old son called an ambulance, which brought her and the baby to a hospital in the city of Brno. The region’s emergency medical services saw a record number of 250 cases on Saturday, due to a heat wave followed by heavy thunderstorms.
