Middle schoolers jump into action to save their bus from crashing after the driver became unconscious

Five students jumped into action to help when they noticed something was wrong.

Student Jackson Casnave grabbed the wheel to save his friends.

Sixth grader, Darrius Clark, then hit the brakes.

"The bus started rolling forward. It started like, gaining speed, so when I clicked the brakes, it about threw me out the windshield," he said.

2 other students helped, one of them giving Taylor her medicine.

"I can't thank these students enough for saving everybody's life because it could have turned out so much worse," Taylor said.

Heroes!
