A seventh-grader in Michigan is being heralded a hero after he safely stopped his school bus after the
driver passed out.
At 2:59 p.m. local time on Wednesday, a driver for Warren Consolidated Schools called the
transportation base to let them know that she was feeling dizzy and needed to pull the bus over. As she
slowed the bus down in preparation to stop, she lost consciousness, and the bus was still moving.
Then, Dillon Reeves, sitting about five rows back, sprang into action.
He threw his backpack down, ran to the front of the bus, grabbed the steering wheel and slowly applied
the brakes before the bus could veer into oncoming traffic. Once the bus was stopped, Dillon yelled to
his classmates, “Someone call 911. Now!”

Majority of kids that are raised in Rural areas, tend to learn driving skills at an earlier age. We never
think they will need to know, but tell your kids as much information as possible to save your life or someone else’s.
