Five Mississippi Students Stop School Bus After Driver Loses Consciousness
Five middle school students in Hancock County, Mississippi, stopped a school bus after driver Leah Taylor suffered an asthma attack and lost consciousness while driving. Jackson Casnave took the wheel, sixth-grader Darrius Clark hit the brakes as the bus began gaining speed, and two other students helped, including one who gave Taylor her medicine.
Taylor said she could not thank the students enough for saving everyone on the bus, adding that the outcome could have been much worse. Clark said the bus had started rolling forward and gaining speed before he applied the brakes.
