Bus driver Renita Smith is being hailed a hero after saving twenty Maryland elementary school children after the bus she was driving went up in flames Monday afternoon. Smith took the kids off the bus one by one and even went back to check if any were left behind in a bus fire in College Park.
Smith told ABC News: “I put the mic back down, undid my seatbelt, jumped up, got my babies and got off. Once we got off, neighbors kicked right into ‘Mommy mode,’ as I call it, and helped the kids get to a safe haven. When that was going on, I ran back onto the bus to make sure there was no children on the bus. … By the time I got to the last step on the bus, it just went up in smoke.”
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Thank you to Smith for saving these saving these young children.
