Troopers Delivers Baby Roadside, F.E. Everett Turnpike North, Bedford

For the second time in the less than two weeks, New Hampshire State Police assisted with a roadside delivery of a baby.  On April 17, 2020 at approximately 8:08 PM Troopers from the New Hampshire State Police Troop B Barracks in Bedford and members of the Bedford Fire and Rescue were requested by 911 services to respond to the F.E. Everett Turnpike northbound at mile 18.4 for a vehicle that was pulled over with a female who was in active labor. Trooper Mark Dore arrived as the infant was being born and guided the father through a successful delivery. Shortly thereafter, Trooper Brad Pierson and the Bedford Fire Department arrived on scene to take control of the scene.

Christine and George D'Amelio, who is a Massachusetts State Trooper, were traveling from their residence in Tyngsborough, MA and were in route to the Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, NH when Christine went into labor. The soon to be dad pulled over just north of the Bedford Tolls where their son Jackson was born almost immediately.

Mom, Dad and Jackson were transported by ambulance to the Catholic Medical Center and all are doing well.

Congratulations to all!
