On a busy Detroit-area road, a boy grabbed the steering wheel of a school bus and hit the brakes, bringing it to a safe stop after the driver passed out.
Dillon was hailed as a hero for stopping the bus as it was veering toward oncoming traffic. An above-the-driver video camera recorded the incident. A video shows the driver fanning herself with a baseball cap and informing the transportation office that she needs to pull over. Within seconds, Dillon slammed the brake pedal and clutched the steering wheel.
The experience couldn't have been better, Livernois said, noting that adults helped kids out the back door. Dillon's dad said, "We have a little hero," when his son took care of business on the bus. Since he was about 4 years old, he has been on my lap driving country roads and pulling into driveways.
