BREVARD COUNTY • ROCKLEDGE, FLORIDA (WFTV) – A doctor who was pumping gas at a Merritt Island gas station Friday saved the day for a woman who had gone into labor.

Dr. Javier Soto, an Ob-Gyn at Weusthoff Medical Center in Rockledge, was at a Speedway gas station at the corner of State Road 3 and Grant Road when he heard a cry for help.

The woman’s husband called out asking Soto, who was wearing his medical scrubs, if he was a medical professional.

Already on his way to the hospital to deliver another baby, Soto jumped into action and delivered the baby in the back seat of the couple’s pickup truck.
