A taxi driver, Farhod Fattoyev, encountered an unusual situation in Tashkent, as reported by Podrobno.uz. While taking his passenger—a pregnant woman—to the maternity hospital, she gave birth in the car.
Farhod has been driving for 14 years and has been working for Yandex Go for the last two years. He accepted the order as usual, but a few minutes later, he received a call: the customer 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 journey was expected to take about 35 minutes, but due to traffic jams, the trip 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.
Seeing traffic police on the road, Farhod 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.
When they reached the maternity hospital, it turned out that both the mother and baby were healthy. "Hearing this news, I felt relieved and couldn't hold back my tears. I was amazed by this incident 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," added the taxi driver.
Farhod does not consider himself a hero and says that anyone in his place would have done the same. His colleagues, 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.
