Boy, 10, saves fellow students after driver crashes school bus into pond
A 10-year-old schoolboy is at the receiving end of heroism praises for saving the lives of fellow students after their bus crashed into a pond.
Nicholas Serra, 10, was in the school bus alongside 26 other students of Mary E. Bryant Elementary School when the bus driver lost control of the vehicle and hit a tree.
The bus then turned over into a pond, reports say.
The driver has been suspended with pay as police and the school launch a probe into the crash, reports say.
The accident happened in Tampa, Texas on Thursday.
Nicholas, who is in fifth grade, narrated to People Magazine how he carried a kindergarten student to safety.
He then went back into the bus to rescue two other students, reports say.
Security officers in Hillsborough County later came to the scene to help the other students.
All 27 made it out alive with one of them sustaining minor injuries.
Police said the injured student was treated in hospital.
