First responders are not unfamiliar with roadside emergencies along the Massachusetts Turnpike given that tens of thousands of people travel along Interstate 90 daily, but it's not every day that they are called to help when a woman is delivering a baby on the side of the highway.

That's just what happened Sunday night, though.

The Westborough Fire Department said around 7:45 p.m. that station crews had just assisted with the delivery of a healthy baby boy on the Mass. Pike eastbound at Interstate 495.

The mom and baby are both doing very well, the fire department added.

No other details were released, including if the incident caused any traffic delays.

Congratulations to the family!!
