    Levi and Rivka Barash, the Lakewood parents, were trying to get to Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch when Mrs. Barash began to deliver the baby on the side of Route 18 North in Ocean Township, according to State Police Sgt. Jeanne Hengemuhle.

    Mr. Barash stopped his car and waved down State Trooper Anthony Palermo, who was on patrol in a marked Dodge Durango.

    He put the mother in the backseat of his sport utility vehicle. "I advised the husband to take his time and meet us at the hospital,'' Palermo said. "I put on the overhead light and used the siren, made it off onto Deal Road, then went straight through Ocean Township.''

    The trooper made it to the intersection of Deal Road and Phillips Avenue when the baby – a boy – began to crown, Palermo said. He stopped in Deal and managed to deliver the baby without any equipment and then proceed to Monmouth Medical Center.

    Most people go to whichever hospital their doctor delivers at. Her doctor probably delivered only at Monmouth so they headed there. Sometimes, things work faster than you expect!
