HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa.— A group of Hollidaysburg high school students intervened to safely stop their school bus after the driver suffered a medical event behind the wheel.
The students remained calm and worked as a team when the vehicle began drifting during an after-school ride.
The students utilized health and medical science training learned at school to carry out critical safety steps. Sophomore Jenna Anderson called 911 to report the emergency. Senior Skyla Horton engaged the parking brake and opened the doors, while senior Travis Zerby used the bus radio to request assistance.
Sophomore Alexis Smith rushed to the front of the bus, applied the foot brake, and checked the driver’s pulse. Smith was initially distracted before a classmate alerted her to the emergency.
“I didn’t realize at first I was on my phone texting, and then my best friend pulled me out of my seat, will push me out of my seat and was like, ‘Get the bus driver’,” Smith said. “I think if it was one of us. We would be in a struggle because I had my foot on the brake.”
Managing the bus while responding to instructions over the radio created additional challenges during the incident.
“That right there alone is hard,” Smith said. “And he (Zerby) was telling me to say certain letters, and I didn’t know what the heck that meant. So I was like, I don’t know.”
The driver has since recovered, received medical clearance to drive and returned to his regular route. School leaders commended all the junior high and high school students on board for staying calm and working together to keep everyone safe.
