"I didn't have time to process my emotions. I just wanted to make sure that nobody got hurt. The bus started to swerve, and I grabbed the wheel."
"I was scared, but also I had to help. I could barely hear the operator as so many students were screaming when I called 911."
"I'm very proud of them. I couldn't ask for any of my other students than my students on my bus. I love every single one of them."
Students in Mississippi acted heroically when their bus driver lost consciousness due to an asthma attack. Sixth-grader Jackson Casnave took control of the steering wheel while Darrius Clark attempted to brake. Other students called 911 and provided assistance to the driver. They managed to safely stop the bus and ensure the driver's safety. The driver, Leah Taylor, later expressed her gratitude, stating that the students saved her life. The students were recognized for their bravery at a school pep rally.
