It's April Wise's first year as a school bus driver and she's being praised after she saved a student from possibly getting hit by a car just days ago. A school district video in Ohio shows a school bus stopping to drop a student off. The driver notices an oncoming vehicle and intervenes to grab the student just as he is about to step out. Had she not, the car which did not stop for the school bus would have hit the child. A district spokesperson said “We are feeling very grateful this evening for the alertness and quick actions of one of our amazing bus drivers.”
“This woman is our family hero tonight as this was my nephew,” Amy Mendenhall said
April Wise was personally congratulated by State Rep Bernard Willis, Clark County Commissioner Lowell McGlothin, and many others on Monday. The Ohio Department of Transportation said: “We’re beyond grateful to April Wise, Tecumseh Local Schools bus driver, for her dedicated service and instant reaction to keep a student safe from a passing car.”
