Luminis Health shared the news of this dramatic birth on Instagram. The hospital wrote, "When Dr. Janelle Cooper, one of our OB/GYN physicians, was walking into work, she heard a scream from a vehicle. Dr. Cooper knew instantly a mom was about to give birth. She ran over and helped deliver the baby right in the parking garage. Seconds later, Jean Andres, our director of Labor and Delivery, was also walking into work and assisted until the Team could arrive. They both happened to be in the right place at the right time."
