Ohio Boy Steers School Bus to Safety

By Associated Press | April 8, 2008

CLEVELAND — Rolling downhill in a bus with his screaming classmates and no driver, a fast-acting 11-year-old jumped behind the wheel yesterday and steered the bus into a pillar, stopping it from careening out of control. The driver, Michael Weir, had stopped for fuel and was in the restroom when the bus started to roll with 27 children aboard. Fifteen children suffered minor injuries, were treated at hospitals, and released. The boy likely saved the children from worse injuries, authorities said.
