Fire Department comes to aid of family after father delivers daughter on I-95

ATTLEBORO, MA. — The Attleboro Fire Department assisted a family Tuesday evening after a baby girl was born on the side of Interstate 95.

According to the department, at just before 5:15 p.m., the Attleboro Fire Department was dispatched to I-95 North for a reported childbirth.

When crews arrived, they found that the father had already delivered the couple’s baby girl on the side of the highway. The new parents had been traveling to the hospital when their daughter decided she was ready to arrive a little sooner than expected.

Attleboro Fire paramedics immediately assessed both mother and baby. Both were found to be in healthy condition and were transported to Sturdy Hospital for further evaluation.

“Most of the time, we meet people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives,” Firefighter Paramedic Haley Coleman said. “It was refreshing to be part of such a happy and important moment for this family. We’re grateful that both mom and baby were healthy and doing well.”

The Attleboro Fire Department wishes the couple, their new daughter and their growing family all the best.
