Bystanders help deliver baby after couple gets stuck in Jersey Shore traffic

SEA BRIGHT, N.J. -- A New Jersey couple went into labor while stuck in traffic at the Jersey Shore when two bystanders helped deliver the baby.

Trevor Abbud, 23, and his pregnant wife Rose were headed to a hospital Saturday night after her water broke. Not long after that, the bumper-to-bumper traffic convinced the couple they would not make it in time.

"I'm like 'Rose, calm down.' she's like, 'No, she's coming now,'" says Trevor. "That's when she puts the seat in recline and she takes her pants off, and I see the baby's head. I'm like 'Oh my God, no.'"

In a panic, Trevor started honking his horn for help while he called 911.

"What really freaked me out is I saw her eyes, I saw her whole head, but she wasn't crying, and I started freaking out. I didn't think she was alive," adds Trevor.

Luckily, the car in front of him had a trauma nurse, and EMT Lauren Kammerer was in the car behind him.

"Her head and her shoulders were already out by the time that we got there, so it was literally like 'OK, you ready to push?,' and she did," said Kammerer.

Bella Rose made it through the delivery, as did mom. Both were taken to the hospital, where they are doing great.

"I'm just so thankful she's healthy, and my wife's healthy. What a story - she's going to love this when she's older," said Trevor.
