A YOUNG family is celebrating a miracle birth of a baby boy after paramedics helped a woman in labour in the emergency lane on the M25 on Friday night

According to Crisis Medical’s Neil Powell, paramedics were waved down by a stationary vehicle while traveling south-bound on the M25.

“The 23-year-old was in labour and was in the process of giving birth. We assisted in the delivery of the baby, a beautiful boy who appears to have been in good health and vitally stable. Both mother and newborn were transported to a nearby hospital.”
