Watch: Seattle cop pulls over speeding car, helps deliver baby

SEATTLE -- Seattle police officers wound up helping with the birth of a baby after a routine traffic stop - and it was all recorded on a patrol car's dashboard camera.

The department says Officer Anthony Reynolds pulled over the car after he saw it speeding and running red lights in South Seattle at about 3:45 a.m. Sunday. The driver opened his door and shouted that his wife was in labor.

A woman's voice can be heard screaming on the video: "The baby's coming out!"

Reynolds radioed for an ambulance, but it didn't get there in time, and three other officers arrived just as the baby was born.

"After first giving a full-throated cry as she burst into the world, the young girl began struggling to breathe," the Seattle Police Department said in a statement. "With the help of the child's mother, Officer Reynolds cleared the baby's airway and got her breathing again."

The police department reports that the family is doing well.

"You have helped deliver a precious gift," the couple wrote to the department in a note. "We are so grateful."
