In Hancock County, Mississippi, five middle school students acted heroically to stop a runaway school bus when their driver, Leah Taylor, passed out due to an asthma attack. As the bus veered off course, one student grabbed the steering wheel, another pumped the brakes, and a third called 911. A fourth student contacted the school district, while the fifth administered medication to the driver. Taylor expressed gratitude for the students' quick actions, which prevented a potential disaster.
