Band Director Saves Charter Bus After Driver Passes Out
A high school band director who recognized that the driver of his band’s charter bus was unconscious is being hailed as a hero after he acted quickly and brought the bus safely to a stop. The bus was transporting the band from Parkway North High School near St. Louis, Mo., to Florida, where the band was scheduled to board a ship bound for the Bahamas. According to reports, the charter bus was one of three transporting band members in a caravan on an interstate near Atlanta, Ga., early on the morning of March 14 when the bus suddenly began traveling on the rumble strip.
