Quick Thinking

October 5, 2008 by Laura | Trackback URI

A quick thinking (and quick moving) young man saved lives:

When Ramos Mitchell saw the empty driver’s seat and felt his school bus barreling off the highway toward a pole, two thoughts pervaded his mind: I don’t want to die. And, I want to graduate.

Seated two rows behind and with his back to the driver, who apparently had fainted, the West St. John High School senior said he turned around when he heard his schoolmates hollering.

Seeing no one in the driver’s seat, the former star hurdler sprinted to the front of the bus.

It’s a nice story, and a nice break from the political news.  :-)
