Two EMTs are being credited for helping to deliver a baby on the side of the Bronx River Parkway during the snowstorm on Friday night.

The FDNY says Station 3 EMTs Henry Garcia and Rachel Rosado responded to a call for a woman in labor. The pair soon realized that the baby was arriving earlier than expected.

Garcia and Rosado then pulled over to deliver the baby on the side of the parkway.

"This was my first delivery, and communication is what made it possible," Rosado was quoted on a post on X. "My partner guided me through every step, and we worked together to make sure the baby and mother were safe. Despite the circumstances, it turned into a beautiful delivery, and it's something I'll never forget."

The FDNY says the mother and baby are doing well.

This was the 91st baby delivered by FDNY EMS in 2025.
