A bus driver is being credited with saving five children aboard a school bus that stalled on train tracks in Orland Park, Illinois, Friday afternoon.
The front of the bus was struck by a Metra train, but not before the driver evacuated the children. No injuries were reported thanks to the driver’s quick actions, according to fire chief Michael Scholfield.
“The investigation we did shows the driver stopped at the tracks as required to do so, but when she started the bus to cross, the bus stalled with the front end of the bus over the tracks,” Schofield told “The gate came down on top of the bus and the driver then quickly escorted the five children off of the bus to safety minutes before the Metra train hit the front of the bus,” he said.“We all just ran off the bus.
