5 Mississippi middle school students leapt into action when their bus driver lost consciousness while driving, and are being hailed as heroes.
Driver Leah Taylor from Hancock County School District was on her usual route with a busload of students on board when she suffered a serious asthma attack and lost consciousness.
Not one, not even two, but five students jumped out of their seats and got a handle on the situation.
First was Jackson Casnave who grabbed a hold of the wheel when he felt the bus veering off road.
While Jackson had the wheel, it was 6th grader Darius Clark who hit the breaks in fits and starts.
8th grader Kayley Clark called 911, while classmates Destiny Cornelius and McKenzie Finch helped Taylor the driver.
McKenzie propped her head up which allowed Taylor to regain some awareness, and that’s when she immediately began reaching for something, which Destiny noticed was almost undoubtedly medication on the dashboard.
“I can’t thank these students enough,” Taylor told WLOX News, “for saving everybody’s life, because it could have turned out so much worse.”
