Not only that but the article says they were on Baptist Health Drive. Judging by the name of the street you'd figure they could see the hospital. Any rational officer should have been able to put together what was going on.

I don't know the exact circumstances but I've been told when my mom went into labor with me, my dad sped to the hospital and somewhere along the way ended up with a police escourt. Granted he may have called ahead to 911 and notified dispatch what was happening, and it was also over 30 years ago so maybe they don't do that anymore.
