The rescue of the driver of a runaway school bus was caught on camera in Minnesota. Police say the driver suffered a medical issue, then drove straight into the path of oncoming traffic. No children were on board. In an attempt to stop the bus, a police officer pulled in front of it and slammed on his brakes, but it was still pushing his cruiser forward. When an assistant fire chief saw what was happening, he ran to the bus and jumped inside. "Let's do it, now or never. Opened the door, slammed open the door, threw it in park, and threw the key on the floor," said assistant fire chief Greg Meyer. The driver was taken to a hospital.
