LOS ANGELES -- A woman gave birth to a newborn in a rideshare car Friday night in Sherman Oaks.

The Los Angeles Fire Department arrived after the successful delivery, which happened near the 12900 block of West Riverside Drive.

"The amazing part is, you never know when life starts and right here at Whole Foods today a woman was having a baby inside of an Uber car. So she ordered an Uber and she went into labor," he said.

Firefighters said the Uber driver and the father assisted in the delivery of the baby.
