A Utah mother was driving at about 75 mph in the fast lane of an interstate highway on Saturday when her water broke.

Mariah Ostler, 32, says she was on her way to the hospital when she realized her unborn child would be delivered earlier than she expected. That's when she called 911 to report that she was going into labor.

"I knew the baby was coming and it doesn't help to panic. So, I just stayed calm and said, 'Well, if I deliver it on my own then I deliver it on my own. If somebody gets here, somebody gets here. The baby is here. There's not much more I can do about it,'" she said told KSL.

"I was hoping that I would make it. But then my water broke and I called dispatch because once my water breaks. ... There's the baby. There's no time once that happens."

Ostler, who has two older children, said she parked her car on a highway shoulder shortly before she was met by two police officers. Just 90 seconds after the cops arrived on the scene, she gave birth to a 9.9-pound boy on the shoulder f I-15, not far from the Willard exit.

"He came right out in my hands," said Utah Highway Patrol trooper Josh Carr, who helped deliver the baby, along with Willard Police Chief Jean Loveland. "It was very emotional. Probably next to my own children's' birth, it was a very satisfying moment in my career," added Carr, according to The Associated Press.

Ostler and her newborn son were then taken to Brigham City Hospital, about 60 miles north of Salt Lake City, where she was reported to be in good condition.

"Everyone is really feeling good," said Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Jalaine Hawkes.

Although Officer Carr says he has worked as an EMT for 14 years, this was the first baby he had delivered.

"They tell you to be prepared to take a life and give life. Thank goodness this was one of the two I had the opportunity to do. To train for it, there is no training. They tell you how to do it. But this is the only way you're going to learn is to actually do it," he said.
