It was a morning commute miracle.
A New Jersey woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy in the Holland Tunnel this morning, authorities said.
The couple, from Lodi, NJ, were almost through the tunnel around 7 a.m. when they realized the baby wasn’t going to wait.
The frantic father pulled the car over and ran out to get help.
Veteran Port Authority officer George McCann and his partner Jean Bernard rushed to the car and found that the baby's head was already coming out, said a spokesman for the Port Authority.
McCann helped guide the baby’s shoulders out and delivered the boy.
“He tapped the baby on the arm and he opened his eyes,” the spokesman said.
McCann then created an “oxygen tent” around the baby to protect him from the dangerous car fumes, the spokesman said.
Both mom and baby were taken to New York Downtown Hospital in stable condition, said a spokesman for the FDNY.
