The moment caught on the overhead camera installed inside the bus showed, the driver of the bus, April Wise stopping near the house of a seventh-grade student and noting a car approaching the bus.
Just as the student was about to exit the bus, Wise quickly pulled him back, as the car stopped right outside the school bus’s door. Had Wise not pulled the student, the car might have hit him.
