These kids are anything but 'the usual suspects'. Somebody obviously did a good job of parenting. This on-board camera video shows the moment quick-thinking Mississippi middle schoolers worked together to stop their school bus from crashing after the driver passed out behind the wheel on a four-lane highway.
Security footage obtained by ABC News shows the five Hancock Middle School students bravely stepping up and bringing the bus to a stop after spotting driver Leah Taylor’s head hanging limply after she suffered a medical episode while barreling down a highway in rural Kiln on April 22.
“She kind of fell over, like flopped over, and everyone started standing up,” one of the brave students, McKenzy Finch, told WLOX.
Sixth-grader Jackson Casnave, 12, said he grabbed hold of the steering wheel after he “saw the bus was veering off to the side.” Meanwhile, fellow sixth-grader Darrius Clark, 12, slammed the brakes.
“The bus started rolling forward. It started like, gaining speed, so when I clicked the brakes, it about threw me out the windshield,” Darrius said.
The students were celebrated at a pep rally Friday and will be treated to a lunch field trip next week at a restaurant of their choosing.
