These 4 students saved their bus driver's life. Their tearful reunion will melt your heart.
On Tuesday, a bus driver known as Miss Denise was driving 30 Seneca High School students in Louisville, Kentucky when she started to experience a terrifying medical emergency.
She had only her students’ safety in mind and, as her vision began to blur, she was able to navigate the bus off of the highway it was traveling on. She pulled the air brake and stopped the bus before she blacked out. She says that is all she recalls from that morning’s scary drive.
“The last thing I remember saying was, ‘I can’t drive!’ and that was right before I popped the air brake,” Miss Denise told WRDB.
But that’s when four students responded to the call of action. Shikita Scott, A’niyah Goldsberry, Jarvon Grundy, and Jade Carter were quick to come to their bus driver’s aid.
The group quickly called 911, radioed bus dispatch, and brought Miss Denise to lay down on the bus. They placed cool water on her forehead and waited for emergency personnel to arrive. All the students on the bus were safe thanks to Miss Denise. But Miss Denise says that the four students earn credit for saving her life. “It could have been life-threatening,” she said.
According to Shikita, her eyes were rolling to the back of her head. A’niyah said, “She looked like her body was just about to give up.”
Shikita added, “My dad was laying on the couch, and I watched him take his last breath. I couldn’t have anything like that happen ever again, so I was like, ‘I need to help Miss Denise.'”
On Tuesday, the students were called to the library where they thought they would discuss with school officials what happened during the bus ride. Instead, Miss Denise surprised them with hugs and roses.
“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be standing here today,” Miss Denise told the students through tears.
