Middle School Student Helped Save Bus Driver's Life: Report

PRESTON, CT — A local middle school student is being credited after she helped save her bus driver's life last Thursday, according to NBC CT. Ava Boenig, 12, was riding on the bus when it stopped unexpectedly and someone was screaming in pain.

The bus driver said his chest felt tight and Ava, a seventh-grader at Preston Plains Middle School, immediately called emergency services. She said she "didn't really think about it in the moment," NBC CT reported.
