Quebec baby delivered in restaurant parking lot, police, paramedics assist

Provincial police issued a release on Friday about how officers and paramedics helped a woman deliver her baby in a restaurant parking lot in Mirabel, Que.

The release comes as the family recently met up with the paramedics, officers and dispatchers who all did their part to help them safely deliver their newborn child in unexpected circumstances.

On May 6, at around 5:50 p.m., Brigitte Perrault and her partner Nicolas Théberge were en route to deliver their third child when the baby decided to make his exit a little early.

A statement released by the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) Friday said the father called 911 once he realized his partner was giving birth in the car while on Highway 15 and they wouldn’t have time to make it to the hospital.

They were met in the parking lot soon after by SQ police officer Alexandre Boivin. He helped the mother get into the ambulance as the paramedics arrived shortly after.
