An seventh student is being praised for taking action during an incident on his college vehicle in Glendale, Wisconsin, on Wednesday.
A teenage girl, Acie Holland III, was riding the bus after school when the pilot lost consciousness and the steering wheel, according to a report from WISN on Friday.
The vehicle started moving more slowly over into an oncoming street, which made the situation worse. But, Holland said he grabbed the steering wheel, moved the vehicle toward the pavement, hit the brake, and made certain to turn the steering wheel.
The younger man told Fox 6 News Milwaukee,” I was focused on simply trying to get the vehicle to stop and make sure everyone was okay.
The young scholar often works on cars with his dad, Acie Holland Jr., and therefore taking control of the vehicle during those trying times was a natural choice.
” Remotely he can help with everything he’s gonna do it”, his father explained.
