In Control

Well, all right little girl of action:

"A quick-thinking student jumped behind the wheel and stopped a school bus after a crash south of Tampa knocked the driver unconscious this morning.

Nine middle-school students were taken to the hospital along with the bus driver and another adult. The Hillsborough County school bus collided with a milk truck just after eight this morning."


That's one heck of a collision -- and one together little kid.

UPDATE:
Her name is Mariela Hernandez and on top of being able to keep her wits about her, she's adorable. Look at those dimples.

But where are all the "law-and-order" Democrats calling for her to be incarcerated for driving without a license?

It reminds of that Deep Thought that goes "When I die, I want to go in my sleep like my grandpa, not screaming like his passengers."

I like a person who gets up and does something in a crap situation.

That is a classic "Deep Thought" and a good story.

Donnah, you've been a good source for good news stories coming out of Florida - from gun toting, home protecting, Cracker kids to crime-stopping Cracker by-standers. And I think I recall a recent story with a Guatamalan family that squared away some punk. Keep on keeping us up with the good news.

This young lady saved the day. It's always good to read about repsonsible youngsters.

Thanks for sharing this one.
