A dad is grateful to the state trooper who pulled him over for speeding and called him “God sent” for rescuing his baby.
Speeding Vehicle
One day in North Carolina, state trooper, Matthew Brown, noticed a vehicle speeding over 100mph on the highway. So, he flagged down the car and made him pull over. That’s when he discovered the reason why they were speeding up.

Apparently, Derrick Stroud had a newborn baby inside his car they had to rush to the hospital. The dad was aware he was already speeding, but he had no choice in such a dire situation.
“I really had no words other than focusing on getting my baby to the hospital to get taken care of,” he said. “Although we knew it was the season for this stuff, we really didn’t pick up on it. Other than a little cough, and that cough went from cough to a hoarse cry in a matter of three to six hours.”

God Sent
After discovering the situation, Matthew, a former EMT, moved into action. He immediately checked on the 9-week-old baby. He then found out that the baby was no longer responding in the child’s seat. The baby couldn’t breathe properly.
“I turned her head towards me, and I could see that her lips started to go blue and there was a lot of trouble breathing,” the trooper recounted. “Once I got her out of the seat, she started to breathe a little bit better. Her blueness started to go away. And I started to rub her back and stimulate her to keep her awake so she could focus on getting her breathing back to normal.”
What was supposed to hinder the family from rushing to the hospital became a divine intervention to save the baby. And the Strouds are grateful to Matthew.
“It’s like God sent him to be there,” the dad remarked.
