校车上发生惊险一幕 七年级男孩挺身而出
校车上发生惊险一幕 七年级男孩挺身而出

On April 26, the bus driver was taking students home from Carter Middle School when she began to experience “some dizziness”. She attempted to pull over but didn’t make it to where she planned to park and eventually lost consciousness. The bus began to change direction and was going to be hit by oncoming traffic. 

That’s when Dillon Reeves jumped into action. Reeves, who was seated about five rows back, “jumped up from his seat, threw his backpack down, ran to the front of the bus, grabbed the steering wheel (方向盘) and brought the bus to a stop in the middle of the road...despite the panic,” the school headmaster Robert D. Livernois said. In a video released by authorities at the news conference, Reeves is seen taking control of the steering wheel and then yelling to the other passengers, “Someone calls the police. Now!” 

The police responded quickly to the scene to tend to the driver and the students were loaded onto another bus to be safely taken home. No injuries to the children on the bus were reported. The bus driver remains in the hospital and is still undergoing testing and observation.

“We are very proud of our 7th Grade Hero Dillon Reeves! This young man jumped into action when his school bus driver experienced a medical emergency, bringing the bus to a stop and avoiding what could have been a very tragic accident. We are very proud of you!” Warren City Councilman Jonathan Lafferty said. “Dillon, he’s really been a great guy this year,” his mother Ireta said. “He has come a long way. He has surprised us with great grades and with his performances at schools with friends, with peers. And to do something like this just fills my heart, makes my heart skip a beat.”
