A bus driver in southwestern Ohio is being hailed as a hero after saving a child from stepping in front of a car.
Surveillance video shared on social media by the school district showed the moment bus driver April Wise was letting the student off her bus in New Carlisle, just outside Dayton.Wise leaped into action and grabbed the student by his bookbag and moved him away from the doors, just before he would have walked out in front of the passing car.The student was quick, but this time the bus driver was quicker.
"The mom of the student came up to me right away and said to me several times 'thank you so much, thank you so much.'" Crew said. "She said her son came into the house and the first thing he did when he walked in, he said 'that bus driver just saved my life.'"The superintendent says the video is being used by the Ohio Department of Transportation for school bus driving training to highlight how perfectly Wise checked her mirrors while students got off the bus.
"I so don't deserve this but I'm glad it's bringing awareness and hopefully more people will take it into consideration," Wise said.
