At a moment’s notice, quick thinking can save lives.
Nothing illustrates this better than the story of 13-year-old hero named Dillon Reeves.
The teen was riding a school bus full of students in Michigan when he noticed something was off.
The driver felt lightheaded and said on the intercom that she was going to pull over for a moment.
However, the bus never made it to the pull-off area, and began to drift onto oncoming traffic.
Security camera footage shows the driver losing consciousness and going limp.
Noticing the danger of the situation, Reeves sprang from five rows back.
Immediately after, Reeves shouted at his fellow students for someone to call 911.
No students were hurt, and emergency services arrived at the scene in no time.
Once everyone was accounted for, people praised Reeves' quick thinking, which averted a catastrophe.
Reeves' parents expressed their pride at his actions.
Its an honor,exclaimedhis dad Steve.
Weve got a little hero.
He could probably drive one of the cars out of here and be OK.
I promise you that.
His stepmom, Ireta, also wrote a post onFacebookin which she called Reeves a local hero.
The story has made waves across the community.
