A thirteen-year-old in Michigan is being hailed as a “little hero” for bringing his school bus to a halt after its driver passed out at the wheel. Dillon Reeves, a student at Lois E. Carter Middle School in Warren, grabbed the wheel and brake of the bus during his ride home from school, Warren Consolidated Schools Superintendent Robert D. Livernois said at a news conference. The drama unfolds as the driver begins to gasp while seeming to struggle to breathe. Seconds later, the driver’s head falls forward, and it is clear the driver has passed out as the runaway bus carries on down the road. Dillon stamps a foot on the brake, steers the bus one-handed out of the way of oncoming traffic, and shouts for someone to call 911. Livernois confirmed no damage to the bus or any property and that the driver remains in the hospital undergoing testing and observations.
