Watch video of kids saving their own lives on a school bus after the bus driver falls unconscious
Video shows high school students in Pennsylvania stopping a bus to save their lives after the school bus driver has a medical emergency and goes unconscious on September 17, 2026.
The students were in the Hollidaysburg Area School District when the bus stopped at a bus stop. A few students got off the bus safely, as the other students attempted to exit the bus the driver went unconscious after having a medical emergency.
The bus began to move as the students were exiting, the students ask the driver to stop the bus, but the bus kept rolling. The student says chill. Other students are off the bus and are almost hit by the in motion bus.
Other students back up while still on the bus, and the students recognize that the driver is passed out. A female student runs to the driver to stop the bus, other students help push the emergency parking brake.
The bus comes to a stop and several students are launched forward due to the force of stopping so abruptly. Students call on the radio “garage to bus 9, our bus driver passed out.”
Students also checked the bus driver’s pulse and respiration until medical responders arrived. The driver is taken to the hospital via ambulance after a 911 crew arrived on scene.
