A Blacksburg mother had an unexpected delivery in their local CVS parking lot after going into labor faster than anticipated. On their way to the hospital, the Hamdens realized they wouldn’t make it in time and pulled over. Luckily, Officer Hayes of the Blacksburg Police Department was nearby and stepped in to successfully deliver the baby before paramedics could arrive.
Emergency responders arrived shortly after to provide medical care, ensuring stability before transporting them to a nearby hospital. Thanks to Hayes’ quick actions, the delivery went smoothly, and both mother and baby are in good health following the unexpected birth!
