MILTON, Wash. (AP) — A school bus driver whose heart attack resulted with his student charges taking over the wheel has died at a hospital in Washington state.
Fife School District Deputy Superintendent Jeff Short says 43-year-old Ryan Callis of Tacoma died Wednesday evening.
Bus footage shows 13-year-old Jeremy Wuitschick rushing down the aisle to the unconscious driver and grabbing the wheel Monday morning as other students yell: “Call 911!”
Wuitschick turned off the ignition and guided the bus safely onto the curb. Students started CPR on Callis until help arrived.
