A heroic fire brigade crew delivered a newborn baby on a busy motorway after a mum called 999.
Emergency services were notified when the mother realised she was in labour whilst driving her car.
The quick-thinking fire brigade crew raced to the scene on a busy road before helping the newborn.
The Dublin Fire Brigade played a heroic role on Wednesday afternoon after being called to the M1 northbound, a report in Dublin Live revealed.
The mother and her newly born child were very quickly transported to hospital to be checked by medical staff.
Delivered with guidance over the 999 call, the newest #DFBaby was born in mum’s car on the #M1 northbound earlier today.
FF/Ps from Swords and our AP crew arrived shortly after to assess mum and baby before transport to hospital.
A speedy delivery on a speedy road. Congrats! pic.twitter.com/b2U0lN5Kri— Dublin Fire Brigade (@DubFireBrigade)
