7th grader Dylan Reeves from Carter Middle School in Michigan takes control of his school's bus after the driver loses consciousness on April 26, 2022. He helped stop the bus, and told his parents he knew what to do because he watched the driver do it every day.
The boy who was later identified as Dillon Reeves — "saw the driver in distress, stepped to the front of the bus, and helped bring it to a stop without incident."
At a press conference on Thursday afternoon, Livernois said Reeves had the "wherewithal" to know not to slam on the hand break, but to instead slowly press down on it until the bus safely eased to a stop.
