Man Boards Runaway School Bus to Save Students in Minnesota

Ebro Ahmed, a 27-year-old Eritrean-American, leaped onto a moving school bus to stop it after the driver experienced a medical emergency in St. Paul, Minnesota, according to Good News Network and People.com. Good News Network and AOL.com both reported that the bus was carrying students when the driver suffered what appeared to be a seizure. [1][2][4]

Outlets differed slightly on the exact number of students on board. Good News Network reported that there were 18 students on the bus, while People.com, Wide Open Country, and AOL.com reported that 19 students were saved. [1][2][3][4]

Good News Network reported that Ahmed had stepped outside of Ya Bricks Snacks and Tobacco in the Dayton's Bluff neighborhood when the Battle Creek Middle School bus rolled past with its doors open. Ahmed ran toward the moving vehicle, jumped inside, and brought the bus safely to a halt. [1]

As HEROIC BREAKING NEWS reported earlier, Ahmed put the moving school bus into park to secure the vehicle and save the children on board. Following his brave actions, a local non-profit awarded Ahmed a 1,000 dollar check. [8]
