A Donna Independent School District bus driver in Texas, Ausencio Sustaita, is being praised as a hero after helping save the life of a truck driver during his morning route.
While driving early in the morning, Sustaita noticed a semi-truck stopped at an intersection and saw that the driver inside was unresponsive. Acting quickly, he turned on his bus’s flashing lights, checked on the man, and — with help from the driver’s daughter — kept him awake and safely helped him out of the truck until emergency crews arrived.
Thanks to Sustaita’s quick thinking and care, the truck driver received timely medical help and is expected to recover. His actions show the dedication and compassion that define school transportation professionals everywhere.
