 A group of middle school students are being hailed as heroes after stopping a runaway bus and saving the driver who was suffering a medical emergency. 


Five students from Hancock Middle School, in Hancock County, Mississippi, saved the day on April 22nd when their bus driver, 47-year-old Leah Taylor, blacked out during an acute asthma attack. Leah was in the process of attempting to self administer medication when she blacked out.


The bus was loaded with around 40 children when 12-year-old Jackson Casnave noticed the bus beginning to swerve. 


Jackson wasted no time jumping into action. He rushed to take control of the wheel while calling for help. His plea for help was answered by 4 additional brave students. 12-year-old Darius Clark rushed to Jackson's aid and began hitting the brakes. The two were able to safely guide the bus to a stop on the median and put the bus in park. While the boys managed the bus, 13-year-old Kayleigh Clark called 911.  While this was happening, 15-year-old Destiny Cornelius began to administer the crucial medicine to the unconscious Leah Taylor, while 13-year-old McKenzy Finch stabilized the driver's head. Finch also retrieved their driver's phone and made the school districts transportation team aware of the harrowing situation. 


Thankfully, due to these quick acting youths, no one was injured, and Leah Taylor was able to make a full recovery. 


The students were honored by their school with a student pep rally on Friday, April 24th, and were awarded a lunch field trip of their choosing sometime next week.


Excellent work, kids.
