This was one special pit stop in New Jersey.
Two of its state troopers are being commended after helping a Tennessee woman deliver a baby girl on the side of the New Jersey Turnpike over the weekend.
“We hear about those tragic deaths, which they are every day, but I was just glad to report something good,” Col. Patrick Callahan, the state police superintendent, said at the state’s daily coronavirus briefing Saturday.
Callahan said the Memphis woman was driving cross country with her husband when she went into labor.
