A group of Mississippi middle school students<\/a> jumped into action this week to stop a school bus after the driver lost consciousness on a highway, preventing a potential crash.<\/p>\n

About 40 students from Hancock Middle School were on board when their driver, Leah Taylor, 46, suffered an asthma<\/a> attack shortly after leaving campus, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Taylor attempted to grab her medication but passed out before she could reach it.<\/p>\n

Without hesitation, the students sprang into action to keep the bus from crashing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sixth grader Jackson Casnave, 12, who was sitting behind the driver, noticed the bus begin to swerve. He rushed forward to grab the wheel and called for help.<\/p>\n

“I didn\u2019t have time to process my emotions,” Casnave said. “I just wanted to make sure that nobody got hurt.”<\/p>\n

Darrius Clark, who is also 12, then hit the brakes, and the students steered the bus to a median and brought it to a stop.<\/p>\n

Clark\u2019s sister, Kayleigh, 13, called 911, later saying she struggled to hear the operator over the screams from classmates.<\/p>\n

“I was scared, but also I had to help,” Kayleigh said.<\/p>\n

Eighth grader Destiny Cornelius, 15, saw the driver holding a nebulizer and helped administer the medication, while 13-year-old McKenzy Finch assisted.<\/p>\n

Finch also noticed the driver\u2019s phone ringing and alerted the district\u2019s transportation team about what had happened.<\/p>\n

Taylor, who has since made a full recovery, praised the students for their actions.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m grateful for my students,” Taylor said. “They\u2019re the ones that saved my life and everybody<\/a> else\u2019s on that bus.”<\/p>\n

The students were honored at a school pep rally Friday and are set to receive a celebratory lunch next week, The AP reported.<\/p>\n

“What they did took courage,” the school’s principal, Dr. Melissa Saucier, said. “They didn\u2019t wait for somebody to step in, they stepped up themselves, and that says a lot about their character.”<\/p>\n
