Upstate NY bus driver saves child from passing car

- A Norwich City School District bus driver’s quick thinking recently prevented a student from being hit by a car. Samantha Call grabbed the boy from behind as a car whizzes by the open doors of school bus. The school bus was stopped on state Route 12 at 10:44 a.m. April 26 with its stop arm out and red lights flashing, according William Loomis, the school district’s transportation supervisor. Video courtesy Norwich City School District.
I don't think the kid even realized what happened. Maybe after processing he thanked the driver the next morning.
He wasn't about to get hit. The car was too far from the bus door and already passing when he was on the steps.
Im pretty sure saying thank you was the least of his worries smh
@@anthonypuccetti8779 but still you don’t speed past an open bus door, it doesn’t matter if he had no chance of getting hit, he could’ve
@@melonemusk So? I wasnt saying that the driver wasnt at fault.
@@anthonypuccetti8779 but hey, at least that bus driver made that kid save (this isn't a hate comment btw)
She verbally told him to stop, re-closed the doors, grabbed him and honked the f out of the dude. This lady is sharp lol
And he didn’t even say thank you! 😞

This ain't it...
Can confirm, I almost got thrown in the air by a moto while I was crossing the road
I once got hit by a motorcycle. I didn't feel any pain and stood up quickly. Everyone was yelling that I should be lying down. But I was just standing there like a dumb tree. I didn't noticed that my arms and feet were shaking. I was just in shock and confused. For some reason, I didn't want to lie down, I was scared. Everyone were yelling, and pushing me down the floor. It was chaotic. Luckily I didn't suffer severe injuries. Just a bruise and a dislocated arm.
People saying the car wouldn't have hit the kid don't seem to realize that woman had SECONDS to realize what was happening and react. Whether or not the car would have missed the kid is irrelevant. This video was about a woman who recognized danger and reacted, protecting the student from potential harm. Her reaction was amazing. ❤️
As opposed to doing nothing and potentially witnessing the worst outcome. She did fantastic work.
we need more bus drivers like this one for our children. she’s SO aware of the surroundings of her bus!!!
I drive a city bus and I’m the same way with my adult passengers . I refuse to open the door until I know it’s safe to do so .
The bus driver did the right thing by grabbing the boy but she didn't save him. The car was passing the bus door a few feet away the same moment she grabbed him. Play the video at slow speed. People commenting here believe the title of the video rather than look closely at what happened. The boy didn't think that he was going to get hit after the bus driver grabbed him. He looked at her like "what was that for"? She shouldn't have opened the door for him to get out in the street. That's common sense. I know that bus drivers in rural areas do that but they probably shouldn't unless there are no cars coming from behind. Public bus drivers don't do that. No one does that unless they are negligent. And its pointless for people here to say that the car driver broke the law. Yeah, drivers break laws. You have to take precautions.
That part!
@@anthonypuccetti8779 and?
@@TheDarylMack thank you for the work that you do Daryl
As a person who is not very good at managing their time and is always running late- I can almost absolutely assure you that running over a kid by not stopping for a school bus will not get you to your desired destination any faster. You will kill someone by doing these reckless and dangerous things. Then what? You’ll be a murderer and in prison. Worth it to be on time? I think not. Manage your responsibilities better- it’s not the world’s oath to be on high alert for you just because you’re running late or having a bad day. It’s about time people get over theirselves and realize this isn’t their world the rest of us are living in.
Tell em girl! Well said.
Amen! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@@skyj451 wtf?
My wife is a school bus driver. It’s amazing how many kids lives safe has saved. Drivers need to pay attention.
This is was not a matter of the driver not paying attention.The driver rolled up between the bus door and the curb to pass. He or she was reckless.
School bus drivers are the real deal. I was a middle and high school teacher and all I can say is I’m so sorry to have to deal with like 40 different middle schoolers on the way home after school when they are nuts. They don’t have the same expectations for behavior so they push all the boundaries. I’m giving her a virtual hi-five for that grit!!
Is this your wife?
The scary part is, that car did it without hesitation so they likely NEVER stop for school buses. I pray no one’s child becomes victim to their disgusting, selfish behavior.
My first thought that i hope that stupid driver doesnt hate kids and doing this until kills someone. 😐
The bus driver is child abuser! No one has the right to touch a child !!
@@vilagistene2137 I’m sorry.. what? While yes I agree with you in the fact someone shouldn’t be touching a child, you are clearly confused. As this was in an attempt to save said child from harm and quite possibly death, and done with no ill intent, I see no reason for the driver to be ridiculed for it.
 No one has the right to touch a child even if it saves the child's life. First, need to ask the child what he want in a situation like this.
@@rat7099 I m Child i know what is good the Children.
Boy's parents owe that bus driver several great meals as a reward for saving their son's life. Driver of the car deserves jail time.

In some states, the camera is automatic like the cameras at stoplights. This bus doesn't have one or else we would've heard about it.
This driver is the one we would want because she truly treats those she drives as her own children. Thank you, ma'am!
Well Im glad she grabbed him before he stepped out on that opening door. It's her job.
Yes and the car driver need to pay for all the meals

God bless that driver her friends and family for she saved an innocent soul
She didn't save the boy. The car was passing the bus door about 6 feet away the same moment he was going down the steps. Play the video at slow speed. People commenting believe the title of the video rather than look closely at what happened.
@@anthonypuccetti8779 true but i mean at least she was nice trying to 🤷🏻♀️
Innocent? I say school shooter😊
Amen 🙏🏾
@@anthonypuccetti8779 the camera seems to be a fisheye lense so the car looks further away. You can see his foot touching the white line when stepping off the bus. The car had to steer away, he would have right run into the car by the speed he had in the beginning. Also, if the driver was so far away, he would not have had to honk
Bus drivers need more recognition. This lady deserves a big reward
why is everyone so caught up on the fact that he didn't say thank you? im sure he's grateful
Anthony he may have, even if he wasn’t, it could’ve been a very close call
@@thevarietykid686The car was already passing when he was going down the steps and it was several feet away from the door and serving away from it. People get passed by cars closely all the time when they cross busy streets.
@@anthonypuccetti8779 he was going down the steps fast. He more likely would of hit the back of the car. Even so, the bus driver had fast reaction and saved him
@@BabbaIsKool No, the car was several feet away from the bus and was passing when the boy was going down the steps.
@@anthonypuccetti8779 shut. Up.
Being a bus driver sounds trivial to some, but here it goes to show why you have to have quality drivers like this woman. Super vigilant and aware of her surroundings.
Yes
Damn straight. Every job is important no matter how easy or monotonous it might look. Especially driving jobs though
Why did she park the bus with lane open on the right in the USA? Aren't bus drivers supposed to pull next to curb to drop off students?

She did the right thing. But the timing of the car flying by would have missed him as he exited. If you watch carefully
She didn’t save him but whatever
@@roastkingasaurus not rlly it just depends on how much the child wants to get home bc if he would’ve walked out he definitely would’ve gotten seriously injured at the speed the other person was going but either way what they did was illegal and they need to be fined

Me: *Literally not seeing a single comment that says he was ungrateful*
Glad to know I'm not the only onr

He is a kid. We are the adults who should look out for them. He was probably in shock
I think within the past year, youtube started trying to recommend comments to keep viewers further engaged. This video is 2 years old, so perhaps the first year had unsorted comments all over about the kid, but now with sorted comments viewers only see the common consensus

He'd better learn, and learn fast.
Exactly!
It's his parents' fault, they're the ones who HAD to teach him. The consequence of too lazy or too stupid (maybe both) parents.
I am almost 50 years old and I have never (ok once) taken to the street recklessly. And it all started 45 years ago when I recklessly stepped on the street and drank a fierce slap from my father - thank him for that...
I want this boy to learn to take care of himself as soon as possible and not in difficult way!
@@jerromedrakejr9332 Yeah it's the parent's fault but that child is also old enough to know the dangers of crossing a street without paying attention.
Right, blame the kid because a driver broke the law and passed a stopped school bus that was offloading.
You shouldn't even be allowed to ride a skateboard if that's how dumb you are.
The kid looked back at the driver like “ hey wtf” lol
I think he understood she helped him but was still dazed.
Because if you check again, he looks at the car go by and THEN looks at the bus driver
Lol ikr 😩😭🤦🏿♂️🤣
He didn't even say thanks smh
It's because kids are kinda fucking stupid. The thought that was probably going through his head these days was he wished he had his phone out so he could record the bus driver assaulting him and get her fired.

Geez people these days. Everyone hating on a kid. Like really guys? Did y’all grow up being the perfect person or something?
@死にたい~Möchte Sterben literally.
At least I know to say thank to the person who saved my life.
Because the kid should have been sitting. He put himself in that situation. Even the people that smoke and don’t do good in school sit before the bus has to stop. It’s common sense to living in this world with safety.
Although it was the person on the outside driving the car fault too, because either way they should have stopped.

@@lilwoodiewood3457 That doesn't even make sense
whoever was driving that car needs their license revoked. if a school bus is STOPPED and has their STOP sign out, you. S T O P.
That’s actually the law, and once they’re found they do get their license suspended immediately, and can’t get it back for a LONG time.
To be fair it had just stopped but the driver in the car should’ve had fast enough reflexes to stop anyway
This is the thing i hate cause (at least where i live in the US) the bus drivers cant do anything because they are legally not allowed to pull so traffic cannot go around them so as to not block traffic, but if the kid gets injured in any way from a car not stopping they still are the ones blamed. Vehicles going around buses with their lights on happens a lot around my town and the school district I live in wont do anything about it. Bus drivers deserve much better treatment then they get. It doesnt make it any easier for the bus driver since most school districts around me won't do anything about this even if the bus driver gets the license plate. The laws are not fair to the bus drivers
@@Erin-vf2pi Sounds like you live in a shitty Democrat area.. I can assure you the rest of the country is not like that. Most states take bus laws very serious for reasons just like this video.

I feel like school janitors, bus drivers, and lunch personnel really are some of the best people.
🥺
oh yeah for sure. many of them get pretty bad rap at some schools. seriously, they work hard
I was a Janitor at my school while I was a senior in highschool. (I graduated in 2020 during the beginning of the pandemic) I worked Monday through Friday 3:00pm to 11:30pm and was paid $11.45 an hour. Minimum wage in my state (Upstate New York) was a few dollars more than that. Honestly, It's not a bad job work wise. But I was definitely not treated the best. When covid shots became available. Janitors were the last people on the list to be eligible to retrieve the shot. I do agree that teachers should be on the top of the list and all that, so don't get me wrong there. It's just the way people treat janitors. They work so hard to keep everything clean. Expecially during covid. Now, I've been working as a Security Officer at a mall for the past 10 months. Because of my previous job as a Janitor, and knowing the experience I had with that; I always try to help out the Janitor around the mall.
Not my old bus driver every kid on the bus blamed me for everything and the bus driver didnt even lison to me
I was a substitute teacher in inner city schools for 2 years. The janitors are the BEST people. They are so invested in students' well being. And, they pay very close attention - often noticing warning flags.

Well done! I applaud you for being aware with and for our children ❤
When I was a kid our school bus driver saved the lives of all children on board when she was forced to drive into a ditch to avoid a speeding gravel truck coming at us head on. The bus was stopped to let a child off and cars coming the opposite direction were stopped as they are supposed to. Gravel truck drivers in the area had a bad reputation of being impatient and driving around cars on the highway. This gravel truck driver probably didn’t realize the cars were stopped for a school bus and came barreling around the cars straight for our bus. Thank you Mrs. Hendrix for thinking quick and getting all of us out of the way of a tragedy.
Can I ask what happened next? Did the school complain to the truck company? Did people identify that specific truck and the driver get charged? Did people finally get it after that and stop going on the opposite lane to avoid stopped cars?
@@sexyangel072 From what I remember (this was over 20 years ago when I was around 10) the driver stopped and didn’t try to run. He pulled over and waited for police to come. Mrs. Hendrix was rewarded for her quick thinking the next day at school. This was a very small town so everyone knew about it. The driver was fired and turns out the owner of the trucking company he worked for was a very close friend of my parents so that made things even worse for him. I don’t know what happened to the driver after that, but I remember seeing less reckless driving from Reeves Bros Trucking drivers at least. Plus the owner of the company always sent my parents a very nice Christmas present every year. Not sure if the gifts ever had anything to do with what happened, but it was nice.
Wow!
Sounds like a bus driver I had when I was in elementary school. Frank was one of those drivers who really loved his job. He always treated us like he did his own kids and grand kids. He kept a bunch of us from getting creamed by a drunk driver in a half ton truck once. We were starting to get off the bus, me and another girl had already, when he saw the truck speeding towards us. The driver turned early and fast and jumped the curb and across this lady’s front lawn. Frank leapt up out of his seat and grabbed us back onto the bus and closed the door just as the idiot came passed us. He got the license plate number and gave it to the cops. Turns out the idiot was a driver for our school bus company. He took a personal day and used it to make a huge mistake. He ended up t-boning a cop car right after he came close to running us over. I’m not sure exactly what happened after that as that was 30 years ago. I do know that he hit the cop car his truck caught on fire. Can’t say I care so long as no innocent person was injured. And some how the police officer walked away with minor injuries. Her patrol car didn’t make it though.
Damn. Something like that also happened to my mother. But with the different that she just passed the door from our house and the driver drove through the sidewalk with like 20-30mph just to stop near a bakery wich is our neighbour.
I’m glad that the kids are proud of the bus driver and just as frustrated as her about the car
I agree there are alot of stupid and reckless drivers out there that don't care for others safety I'm very proud of this buss driver
At the end she said course I have my lights on
I was almost hit one day getting off the bus years ago had my driver not called out to me from the window I would have been hit.

Agreed
I work on school busses and drivers are expected to remember license plates of people who run their stop arm, unfortunately. And if the driver does remember the plate and fills out a stop arm violation, there's no guarantee that the person will even get a ticket.
Agreed!
In my area in GA this is literally a thing? Some bus drivers (including my old one) would ride with the doors partially open to get the tickets. (Smaller old country road, passing was kinda dangerous.)

Not to mention he wasn't ever in any danger of being run over. The only way he could've gotten in front of that car in the 0.5 seconds between the door opening and the car driving by was if he literally jumped out, and if he did that he would've broken his legs anyways.

She told him to stop, closed the doors, held the kid, honked at the other car, made sure it was clear, all in a matter of seconds, we need more drivers like this.

Glad she was paying attention, props for a job well done
@@anthonypuccetti8779 lol,and omg didnt know buses had stairs, thought they had steps...
She knows these kids' names by heart. They're more than passengers in her eyes, that's for sure
How bout the fact that she’s so good at her job, she learns her kids names on her route?
I had a few bus drivers. Some did, some didn’t. She’s one of the good ones.
That happened to me once back in the late 70s my bus driver slammed the door in my face and I turned around to ask him what was up and a car raced past. God bless you Herman ohm. He also had treats for every holiday he would hand out on the bus
Good people always leave footprints in your hearth ❤❤❤
It’s good to see a bus driver who’s attentive, my uncle lost his life this way when he was a kid, long before I was born, but it still affects my family to this day. Bless this woman for being aware and protective of the kids on board!
R.i.p to your uncle
I’m so sorry to hear this!!
My condolences
I’m so sorry. Was the driver at least caught and punished?
What a good driver! Saved his life, wow! She's not sleeping on the job and very aware of her surroundings. Excellent grab!!!
Reminds me of a childhood occurrence when a classmate hopped on his bike and didn’t see the bus coming and with incredible presence of mind my other friend grabbed the rear seat of his bike and pulled the bike away from the oncoming bus. I’m still amazed at my friends quick handling at the time.
I’ve been a bus driver for 24 years and that was a great save ! You’d be surprised at how often things like that happen. One thing I do have to say though, that child shouldn’t be walking up to the front of the bus while it’s still moving.
I agree. All through school we werent allowed to get out of our seats until the bus stopped completely and the driver said to come to the front. A kid on the bus one day asked why do we have to wait for the bus to completely stop, the driver said "The seats are softer than the floor, which means if someone doesnt see the brake lights in time and runs into us, and you are standing in the walkway, you more likely to hit the hard floor instead of the softer seat cushion."
“The seats ate softer than the floor”. I love that! I’ll be stealing that one 😉👍🏻
there might be different rules in different places but i get up when the bus is moving or the bus driver will miss my stop.
Watch the video. Don't just believe what the title says.
Give that woman a RAISE!!
The wealthy: No she must stay a poor bus driver for the next 30 years
She’s not a bus driver she’s a BUS OPERATOR that was amazing
She’s a very good driver and saved a life. God bless you.
The driver didn't save the boy. The car was passing the bus door about 6 feet away the same moment he was going down the steps. You can see he wouldn't have been hit if you play the video at slow speed. People commenting believe the title of the video rather than look closely at what happened.
@@anthonypuccetti8779 Maybe he wouldn't have been 𝘩𝘪𝘵 but you're missing the point. Regardless, cars are supposed to stop when school buses are at a stop and kids are getting off. The woman still was caring enough to grab the boy, rather than risking it. If the boy were to have crossed instead of going around the front of the bus he may have been hit or nearly hit, so the woman still saved him. It's the thought of her grabbing him that matters, don't be so ignorant.

I Can't believe some of the nasty negative comments here,and to those certain people maybe you should try driving a big bus,and yes I did for 28 years,and this bus driver is still gonna get my thumbs up on this one👍😊... my own opinions of course 😆
Don’t let trolls bring ya down 💯
28 years! Wow! You must have seen your fair share of mishaps too!
This isn’t really negative but why does the bus door open on the other side of the road? Is it the design of it cuz wouldn’t it make sense if they had the door on the pedestrian side?
@@dchoi381 that would be a DOT question,but I've never in my life time in are area anyways seen a school bus door open on the coming at you traffic side,and where I live we weren't allowed to have are students crossing in front of are buses,we avoided that situation by switching are routes around to where as no students needed to cross any road period,and normally there isn't enough room on your right for traffic to pass you even and because this seems to be happening more,we were to put are buses at a angle,so they couldn't pass on are right,but these were rules back in 2013,so I don't know the rules now so I'm sure they have changed 😊...
Ah, comments have always been a horrible place with horrible people, so just ignore the bad ones, and also
Hey, I am using public transport to get to school and home almost every day, and throughout the years Ive seen a lot of people being mad at drivers. I dont know how it is in your country, but in mine bus drivers are getting nothing and everyone is always mad at them, and the least I can do is aprecciate your hard work.(even if you are not working anymore). I guess its not easy and it means a lot even if some people cant understand that. Stay safe and good luck :)
It all happens so fast, the split second between life and death. Driver so aware of the danger 👍
Dear America : this woman saved this child's life show your kids what it's like to be grateful to other people who just saved their lives for started show said thank you, it enriches the one who receives it without impoverishing the one who says it.
That person who blew past that bus needs to be fined $5000 immediately. Don’t matter if they are poor. They should’ve thought about that before they did what they did. Actions have consequences.
Why money? Take away the license for a year. For a rich person 5000 is almost a slap on the hand.
Kid still didn’t look when he got off.
He looked in shock
Yeah like he was still eager to go
Pov: you’re trying to find the comments of people hating on the kid
Yes! Lol I was scrolling through to find hate comments about the kid😂
And still haven’t found them!😂
I think it’s cuz the person that owns this
Channel delete them??? Maybe??
Just sort by new
Well no offense but tbf, didn't he learned coming from his parents about public places and roads? Like stop lights, look left and right before crossing, etc. I'm not hating him but I'm sure he realized this and learn something.
Edit: unless if he's in a hurry like late for class so he wasn't focus on his surroundings.
This person is wasted as a driver, made her a coach for drivers. She understands everything about it. Give her a raise. Give her a medal.
she stopped in the middle of the road, opening the door without checking traffic, why would you put her as coach? She literally dropped that child into the literal middle of the road..
that kid was so close to getting folded in front of everyone. seriously that was a _close call_

Amazing…..fantastic woman….God bless her
She's so aware of her surroundings! And if you pay attention she also watches out for him when he crosses in front of the bus 🙂 and maybe he was too in shock or scared to say anything to her and probably said something the next day

@@user-tw8dg2df4f probably goes in front so if someone hit the back the bus, the kid(s) would remain unharmed, they are told to be around 6 feet from the front of the bus when walking past, also the driver can observe the kid to ensure safety.

I see that he was 6 or 7 feet away as the car was passing. Without her grabbing him, he would've been 5 or 6 feet from the car just as it passed. Do you seriously believe that anyone can traverse 6 feet in a split second unless they're already at a full sprint?
There’s literally a flipping blinking stop sign on the bus, are these people blind??
The driver of the car passed on the right (no stop sign on right of bus) , Passing on the right and in the shoulder of the road is illegal , and so I bet the car driver didn't see a stop sign , but they would have seen the blinking red lights and if they missed that , there was a big yellow vehicle stopped in the middle of the road , when this happens it is never an accident it is premeditated attempted vehicular homicide .
Neymar is the best football player ever
@@randoom2405 I know it's hard to believe , but yes even school busses drive on the right side of the road here , we would have a lot more traffic jams if we let them just drive on either side of the road , so we tend to keep them on the same side as all our other traffic . In this video the school bus door opens to the shoulder of the road , not a driving lane , and illegal to pass another vehicle from shoulder , or from the right . in rural areas there are alot of roads just like this with a wide paved shoulder , it is just there for emergency stopping (flat tire , other breakdown , heart attack Etc. then you can use the shoulder) And why did they paint that big bread box bus yellow anyway ? Because it was the color of stop signs . Hah.
Apparently they are blind. Just look around when driving. There are red lights and stop signs. Drivers just fly by them like they are not even there. A lot of drivers do not believe in following the rules of the road. Usually those are the drivers that only slow the heck down when they see a police car.
Nope,just STUPID!!
Shes a mom. Those are all her kids. Good mom.
She is sharp. We need more bus drivers like her. And, where I live, this happens constantly. Cars don't stop for school buses. They also run blatant red lights and stop signs on the reg too.
Sharp? Had she stopped at the curb she wouldn't need to be sharp.She was lazy not stopping where she should.
@@julie_fitzgerald You are beyond ignorant. Most children need to cross the road to be on the right side for their home. Most decent school bus drivers will park in the middle of the road so everyone can see they are letting off children but then there are dumbasses like you who apparently think they own the road and somehow it's the bus driver's fault that the car went by.

Dropping off passengers in the middle of the road is a bad idea. The driver here violates all safety rules. To release passengers, you should pull over to the side of the road, and not count on the fact that no one will overtake the bus from the right side!
I think we can agree that we need more bus drivers like her.
no, we all need to be like her instead
She parked on the left though. So it makes sense she has to care about the people she's leaving in the middle of the street.
I disagree we need less bus drivers like her and we need more RUclipsrs like me

@@prich0382 good luck trying to talk sense to Americans they cannot even pay their taxes
That is scary, thank God that bus driver was watching what was going on around her and was able to save that child from getting either badly hurt or killed. People need to go to jail for not stopping for a bus.

Yeah I just came from a vid where a UK bus driver signaled to an oncoming scooter to stop because someone was crossing in front. Then they fist bump in gratitude.
Respect to alert, quick-witted transportation professionals that we take for granted.
Mirrors…?
Yep, as a bus driver should be. They have such a higher responsibility with the lives of many on one vehicle. There are bad ones out there at least weekly that work for a third party company and not the school district directly. Get on the Taconic State Parkway from lower Westchester during rush hour and there in the left lane going 75MPH. This women is a saint. God bless her.
Even after running out without looking and almost gets hit he leaves the second time without looking back. That bus driver is the only self preservation that kid has 😳
