Sometimes the miracle of life just can’t wait.

That’s what happened on a highway near Rosthern on Feb. 1, when a baby boy was delivered in the back of an ambulance.

“The opportunity to bring a life into the world amidst misfortune and emergencies is a wonderful moment in the career of a paramedic,” said Steve Skoworodko, Owner of Wakaw & District EMS in a media release Monday.

Wakaw EMS said staff were transporting the mother to hospital when it became clear the baby was on its way, right there on the road.
