The mum-to-be went into labour on a slip road off the Darenth Interchange near Dartford, Kent, on Monday afternoon. The officers called to the scene found her about to give birth and called Sergeant Brett Barham, a trained police medic, for help.
Sgt Barham, of Kent Police, said: “When I arrived the baby girl had just been born into the hands of the officers, but due to the extreme traffic congestion in the area we felt that an ambulance would not be able to get to the scene quick enough to assist mum and baby.
