QUEENS (WABC) -- A 16-year-old girl in Queens is being hailed a hero Wednesday. She was on a bus filled with kids when the driver collapsed and died. And she jumped in to help stop the bus before there was an accident.
Rachel Guzy could have froze or panicked, but the camp counselor took action and stopped the moving bus on a busy Elmhurst street when the driver fell out the door.
She slammed the foot brake and yanked the emergency brake, saving nine kids on board coming home from the Magic Carpet Summer Camp.
"The bus driver, he fell over," camper Sabrina Consigilia said. "And our bus counselor just stopped the bus and everybody started screaming."
