Barwani News: A 27-year-old pregnant woman gave birth on the roadside when an ambulance couldn't reach her house due to damaged roads and a flooded drain at a village in Madhya Pradesh's Barwani district. The incident reportedly took place in Khamghat village in Madhya Pradesh on Saturday evening.

The woman delivered the baby during the journey when she was being transported to the hospital. In the video shared by the news agency ANI, four men were seen carrying a pregnant woman, wrapped in cloth, across an overflowing drain to the hospital.

"My sister suffered labour pain after which we called the ambulance but due to poor road and overflowing drain, the ambulance could not reach the home. Then we wrapped her in a cloth and carried her across an overflowing drain to the hospital but on the way she gave birth to a baby," a brother of the woman Thakur said, as quoted by ANI.
