Woman stuck in traffic gives birth in car

TAWAU: A woman delivered a baby boy in her car after getting caught in traffic on the way to Tawau Hospital.

Noziee Abdul Asa was on the way to the hospital with her father, Abdul Asa Mohd Salleh, 65, and eldest daughter Aisha Maizela, 17, when they were stuck in traffic for over two hours on Saturday morning caused by two roadblocks due to the movement control order (MCO).

“On the way to the hospital, I tried an alternative route using Jalan Tiku to avoid a traffic jam, but was caught in another congestion at a roadblock in Jalan Kuhara, ” he said.

Luckily, an ambulance passed by and Aisha informed them of her mother’s condition.

“They instructed me to follow their vehicle, ” Abdul Asa said.

Noziee, 37, safely delivered the 3.4kg baby just as the car neared the hospital entrance. — Bernama
