    Default Feel-Good Story - 13 Year Old Warren Kid saves School Bus

    With all the "if it bleeds it leads" stories it is nice to read a feel-good story like this.

    In a video provided by Warren Consolidated Schools, the bus driver is talking on the phone, saying she needed to pull over. As she does, the bus glides slowly and the female driver becomes unconscious.

    That's when Dillon quickly hit the brake and tried to steer the bus to a complete stop. Screams can be heard from other students as Dillon yells to them to call 911.

    That kid is a hero. Saved those other kids lives from their ultimate fate.

    What a guy! He handled the situation, bringing the bus to a stop, and authoritatively got someone to call 911. Got me a bit teary-eyed watching the video!

    He's such a shy humble kid, who really did not ask for the limelight. He jumped up and took action without hesitation... and stayed cool while the busload of other kids were near panic. A true little hero!!
