Woman Gives Birth on Trolleybus in Bratislava

A woman gave birth to a baby girl on a trolleybus in Bratislava, the Slovakian capital's transport authority said Wednesday.

"The woman was taking the 204 trolleybus to the Kramare teaching hospital on Tuesday evening when her labour began," spokeswoman Agata Stanekova told AFP.

"Her partner told the driver, who called the ambulance immediately. It arrived within minutes and the paramedics helped the woman give birth while still on board," she added.

Silvia, a 31-year-old mother of five, and her baby daughter Jennifer were taken to the nearby hospital.

"It was a premature birth but the mother and the baby are both doing absolutely well," the hospital said, quoted by local media.
