Hero School Bus Driver Saves 56 Students Before Bus Bursts Into Flames
The Duncan, South Carolina, school bus driver ushered all 56 students – from Duncan Elementary – off her bus, and radioed the transportation office to call 911 before the vehicle burst into flames Tuesday morning.
The “7-year veteran driver and teacher assistant did exactly as she was trained and quickly and calmly evacuated all 56 students from the bus, and got them to a safe location,” the school district said in an online statement several hours after the incident. “She is a true hero!”
