The woman who gave birth on the side of an Auckland motorway has met with the cop who played midwife, ensuring the safe delivery of her first child.
Shanelle Curtis, 19, went into labour five days before her due date last month.
When her contractions became closer together, she left her Otahuhu home with her mother and her sister and headed for Auckland City Hospital where her midwife was waiting.
Ms Curtis told the Herald that as they neared the Mt Wellington exit she knew she wasn't going to make the hospital.
The situation was getting frantic and Ms Curtis' sister spotted a police car and flagged the driver down.
