A taxi driver named Farhod Fattoyev encountered an unusual situation, as reported by Podrobno.uz. While on duty, he was taking a pregnant woman to the hospital when she gave birth in the car.
Farhod has been driving for 14 years and has been working with Yandex Go for the last two years. He accepted an order as usual, but a few minutes later, he received a call: the client was a pregnant woman who needed to be taken to the hospital urgently.
When Farhod arrived, the passenger and her mother-in-law got into the car. The trip was expected to take about 35 minutes, but due to traffic jams, the journey was prolonged. At the beginning of the trip, the driver encountered an unexpected situation – he heard a baby's cry from the back seat.
"I didn't panic; instead, I composed myself and started thinking about how to get to the hospital as quickly as possible. The only thing that mattered was that the baby and the mother's condition were good," said the driver.
Farhod saw traffic police on the road and explained the situation. They assisted the driver and followed the car, but due to the traffic jam, they couldn't go far. Nevertheless, Farhod managed to cover the distance in 20 minutes with his efforts.
When they reached the hospital, it turned out that both the mother and the baby were healthy. "Hearing this news, I felt relieved and couldn't hold back my tears. I was amazed by this event for several days," he said.
According to Farhod, the woman's husband and relatives were waiting for her and expressed their gratitude. "Then the baby's grandmother prayed for me. I told her, 'This child will be your favorite grandchild.' The important thing is that everything ended well," the taxi driver added.
Farhod does not consider himself a hero and says that anyone in his place would have done the same. His colleagues, upon hearing about the incident, nicknamed his car "Ambulance." Yandex Uzbekistan also expressed gratitude to him.
Farhod is originally from Bukhara. He is living a happy life with his family – his wife and five children.
