A group of Mississippi middle school students stepped up during a tense moment earlier this month after their bus driver suffered a medical emergency while driving, according to school officials.

Footage of the incident shared this week by a school district in Mississippi shows a group of students working together to avert disaster on a highway.

The driver said that a man, later revealed to be 31-year-old Aaron Jamal Whitehead of Fall River, had stopped his vehicle in front of the bus while it was picking up children.

The 31-year-old Fall River man allegedly struck the 65-year-old bus driver while young children were aboard the bus, police say. The post Police arrest parent accused of assaulting bus driver in Canton appeared first on Boston.
