A woman rushing to a hospital to give birth hit a few stops along the way – first at a gas station where she delivered the baby herself, then when confused police ordered her out of the car at gunpoint.

Debbie Coleman, whose 3- and 4-year-old daughters were asleep in the back seat, pulled over at a gas station just after midnight Tuesday.

Goff said Coleman “threw her leg over the steering wheel, groaned once, and the rest of the baby came out.

…

“I kept pulling over, making sure (the baby) was all right, breathing,” she said.

But another caller mistakenly reported someone trying to throw a baby from a van.

Coleman said she noticed several cruisers following her before one cut her off. With guns drawn, officers ordered her out of the van with her hands up.
