Driver Helps in Emergency Birth During Ride
According to the Reddit post, Vikas was taking the couple to a hospital when the woman unexpectedly went into labor. Displaying quick thinking and compassion, he helped deliver the baby safely inside the vehicle before transporting the family to the hospital later that night.
“So today I booked a Rapido for my cook as his wife was pregnant. The driver did the heartwarming gesture as a true human being. She was in a lot of pain while going to the hospital and couldn’t bear the pain, so she delivered the baby boy in the car itself. The driver helped the cook to deliver the baby and took them to the hospital afterward. He even charged the amount which was showing in the app and didn’t even ask for extra money,” Mehra wrote.
Search for the Heroic Driver
Mehra also expressed his desire to thank Vikas personally but was unable to contact him after the ride ended. He urged Rapido and co-founder Pavan Guntupalli to help locate the driver, sharing ride details in his post.
The story has touched thousands online, with social media users applauding Vikas for his kindness. One user commented, “A whole movie dude! God bless the driver and everyone.” Another wrote, “Great driver! Also, a Rapido person once told me there are no waiting charges in Rapido like other apps have. So I guess there wasn’t a way to charge extra either. Congratulations to the father though! Cheers.”
Another suggested sharing the story on LinkedIn, mentioning that Rapido often recognizes and rewards drivers for exceptional service.
A Viral Story of Kindness
As the heartwarming tale continues to gain traction, many are hopeful that Vikas will receive recognition for his extraordinary act of kindness. Stories like these highlight the unsung heroes among us, reminding everyone of the power of humanity and compassion.
