There was a special delivery on the side of the Southern State Parkway Thursday.

Around 5:30 p.m., two expectant parents say they were heading to the hospital when they realized they couldn't make it.

The couple pulled over on the parkway westbound at exit 27S in North Wantagh.

State Troopers and paramedics rushed in and helped with the successful delivery.

No word on whether the baby is a boy or girl, but News 12 is told mother and child are in good condition at NUMC.
