Not all heroes wear capes, some like Raquel Radford Baker, drive school buses.

Baker, a veteran driver for Dallas Independent School District, was on a routine route for the kids at Seagoville North Elementary School when one of them, a boy just 7 years old began to choke.

First-grader Preston motioned to Baker that he needed help. Surveillance camera footage showed that he had swallowed something just a moment before. Thinking he needed to throw up, Baker opened the bus door and told him to go let hurl, but Preston gesticulated that wasn’t the problem.

Baker saw the correction that was needed, took Preston off the bus, and performed the Heimlich Maneuver in time.

Preston called her his “hero” and “a bus stop angel.”

Recently, Preston’s mother Gia, and Baker were able to meet for the first time since the incident, and tears were understandably shed.
