Rodriguez flagged down the officers, telling them he had a woman in labor in his car who “couldn’t wait,” the Associated Press reported.

The ride share company said in a statement they’re rewarding Rodriguez with tickets to the Yankees Game and a “deep clean for his vehicle.” The company said they plan to give the family a ride home to Hoboken and a onesie for the baby girl.
