in transit

[GUEST2008]

Hi

My wife went into labour while I was in transit between Israel and L.A.

--- Does it mean that he was leaving Israel for L.A. when his wife started to give birth to a child?

It means that his wife went into labour while he was travelling between Israel and L.A. He was somewhere between Israel and L.A. at the moment she started to give birth.
