It was a tense moment when a woman went into labor at a gas station in Merritt Island, Florida. on Friday, Dec. 8, but thankfully, a man who had stopped for gas turned out to be just what the doctor ordered.

Dr. Javier Soto, a practicing obstetrician-gynecologist on his way to the hospital to perform a scheduled baby delivery at a nearby clinic, noticed his fuel light had come on and pulled into the Speedway in Merritt Island to fill up, according to People.
