13-Year-Old Stops School Bus After Driver Passes Out

The driver of a school bus in Warren, Michigan was struggling to stay conscious. She started to pull over, but passed out before she could finish. Then the bus continued drifting forward into oncoming traffic.

Our hero is Dylan Thomas, a 13-year old seventh grader who ran forward, gently pressed down the brake, downshifted the transmission, and steered the bus to a stop. Then he immediately asked for other students to call 911.

It's a remarkable scene. Dylan kept a cool head the whole time and performed a complex procedure to save the lives of fellow students and, possibly, other motorists. Get this kid a CDL.
