SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- From time to time, officers are called to help deliver babies, but this time, an officer in Utah helped deliver his own baby girl in the back of his patrol car.

But the couple never made it the hospital. His wife says it all happened so quickly, but her husband did a great job.

Officer Clark says this is one of his proudest moments. He told local station KUTV, "Words can't describe what a blessing and an honor it was to be a part of that."

Clark says he can't way to tell his new daughter that he was the one who delivered her when she gets older.
