A “quick-thinking” seventh-grader in Michigan became the class hero Wednesday when he took control of a school bus after the driver suddenly lost consciousness.
Dillon Reeves, a student at Carter Middle School, was able to stop the bus from crashing after he realized the bus driver was experiencing a medical emergency while taking the kids home near Detriot.
The bus driver “became lightheaded and lost consciousness while the bus was traveling on Masonic Boulevard near Bunert Road,” Warren Consolidated Schools Superintendent Robert Livernois said.
While Livernois did not identify the boy in his statement, Warren City Councilman Jonathan Lafferty shared a message of praise for the boy in a Facebook post.
“This young man jumped into action when his school bus driver experienced a medical emergency, bringing the bus to a stop and avoiding what could have been a very tragic accident,” Lafferty wrote. “We are very proud of you for your heroic actions!”
