Video: 7th Grade Boy Safely Stops Bus After Driver Passes Out At Wheel

Not all heroes wear capes. Sometimes, they're dressed in a green hoodie while riding a bus home from school. That description matches the quick-thinking young man featured in this video, identified as 13-year-old Dillon Reeves. The seventh-grader was on the bus when the driver suffered a medical emergency, passing out at the wheel. He stepped in almost immediately, bringing the bus full of students safely to a stop.

The incident occurred on April 26 at approximately 3:00 PM local time. In this case, local means Warren, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit roughly 20 miles north of downtown. According to Click On Detroit, the female bus driver started feeling dizzy and contacted dispatch, informing them she may need to pull over. Unfortunately, she loses consciousness as she's slowing down, leaving the bus rolling on a busy residential street with traffic and houses all around.
