Officers say a mother and her newborn are safe.
Orillia OPP were called this morning just after 3 a.m. to the side of Highway 12 in Ramara Township to help a mother in labour.
"The trip to the hospital did not go as planned when the mother began giving birth to the child in the vehicle," police stated in a release. "Officers arrived on scene to a beautiful, healthy baby girl having been born."
Police and firefighters stayed with the family until paramedics arrived to transport the mom and baby to a local hospital.
"Both mother and baby were in good spirits," said police.
"OPP would like to welcome baby Raven to the world and congratulate Xiaoxue Chen (Mom) and Pablo Petraco (Dad) and Wolf (Brother) on the safe arrival of their new bundle of joy."
