It happened at 7.30 this morning. A woman, accompanied by her husband, has boarded a bus on EMT Valencia line 63 near the Paseo Marítimo. And a few minutes later, reaching the end of Av. De Tarongers, she went into labor.
It was so sudden that in just 5 minutes the baby was born, assisted initially by the father and the driver and then by the entire passenger. The bus driver, Antonio Rodríguez, with 23 years of work in the company, immediately got behind the wheel and did not hesitate to deviate from his route to drive along Blasco Ibáñez Avenue to the Hospital Clínico.
The baby born aboard the EMT bus is a boy and is doing well, as is the mother. Consell JurídicConsultiu de la Comunitat Valenciana has ruled that the drivers and inspectors of EMT València hold the status of “agents of the authority.” A recognized category in the exercise of its functions of control and inspection of the passage for the proper use of transportation tickets.
The passengers and parents have thanked the driver for his quick reaction, treating them immediately and taking them to the Clinical Hospital so that the mother and baby could quickly receive medical attention.
