Tamil Nadu: Woman delivers baby in moving van

Salem: A 20-year-old pregnant woman, Sunbashini, of a remote village in Yercaud hills near here, delivered a male baby even as she was being taken to a hospital in a '108 Ambulance' van on Sunday evening. Even as the vehicle was heading for the nearest government hospital after her husband called the emergency number, the woman suddenly went into labour and gave birth to a male in the van itself. A medical assistant in the ambulance helped her out. Both mother and child are doing well and later they were admitted to a PHC at Nagalur for further treatment, sources said.
