A school bus driver had a medical emergency just outside of Detroit. She radioed for help, but before she could pull the bus over, she passed out. The bus veered into oncoming traffic.

That's when a brave 13-year-old, seventh-grader Dillon Reeves, sprang into action. He grabbed the steering wheel, and slowly pushed on the brakes, urging his schoolmates to call for help.Reeves had carefully watched his dad drive for years.

"I know when he first came home, he was like, 'all I did was stop the bus,'" mother Ireta Reeves said."Wasn't expecting anything out of it," Dillon said."He came home, took a shower, went out, played basketball with his buddy around the block, as they carried on," his father said.He someday hopes to be a first responder, like a police officer or firefighter.
