Nassau Couple Delivers Baby on the Southern State Parkway
They didn't make it to the hospital, so the father delivered his baby on the side of the highway.

One North Bellmore couple is going to have a birthing story like no other.
At about 6:45 a.m. Friday, the couple was driving westbound on the Southern State Parkway on their way to North Shore LIJ Hospital. Jassica Brooks was in labor, and her partner, Judd Jaworoski, was driving.
Jaworoski was forced to pull over because Brooks was having contractions and close to giving birth. They stopped near the Meadowbrook Road exit and, soon after, Jaworoski helped deliver his daughter.
