Dillon Reeves, a 13-year-old hero, saved his school bus from a tragedy when the bus driver lost consciousness while driving.
The school bus was on its daily route home from Carter Middle School, Warren, Massachusetts, with 67 students including Dillon, when the bus driver felt lightheaded and slowly passed out.

The surveillance camera on the bus showed the driver informing someone on the radio that "I'm feeling really dizzy. I might have to pull over", but before she could do so, her body started to shake slightly and she lost consciousness.
Dillon immediately noticed the driver and rushed to take control of the wheel and parked the bus while telling his friends to call 911.
