Time.news – A 13-year-old teenager prevented the school bus he was traveling on from crashing after the driver passed out. Dillon Reeves “He jumped out of his seat, threw his backpack, ran to the front of the school bus, grabbed the wheel and managed to stop” the vehicle in the middle of the road, said Robert Livernois, director of public schools at a district of Northern Michigan, at a press conference.
The bus driver, who was taking about 60 students from Carter College in Warren, north of Detroit, home “passed out” at the wheel, Livernois said. In a video released by the authorities, the driver passes out and the student gets behind the wheel, brakes and manages to stop the bus despite the panic and screams of the frightened children. He then yells at his classmates to call for help “immediately”.. According to CNN, the driver was hospitalized and is in stable condition.
