Nearly a dozen Hancock Middle School students acted when driver Leah Taylor passed out from an asthma attack, grabbing the wheel and slamming the brakes.
Students administered Taylor's medication and called for help, preventing a potential accident. The group, including McKenzy Finch and Jackson Casnave, was commended at a school pep rally.
Principal Melissa Saucier praised the students' calm response, and Taylor, now recovering, expressed gratitude, saying the students saved her life. The district did not immediately comment further.
