The 14-year-old girl from Casino High School, who was sitting on the bus with about 20 others, sprung into action when she noticed it moving without anybody in the driver's seat, narrowly preventing what could have been a major disaster.
A 14-year-old girl has saved a school bus from a runaway disaster at Casino in New South Wales’ north.
The bus, loaded with about 20 school students, was sitting on the corner of Frederick Street and Queensland Road.
But when the bus started moving towards a petrol bowser and mini-mart, year 9 Casino High School student Izzy Miller noticed the driver’s seat was empty.
She jumped into the driver’s seat and, using her powers of deduction, quickly pressed one of the pedals to test if it was the brake.
CCTV footage from the Casino mini-mart captured the frightening moments on camera.
“The [school] principal said that if Izzy hadn’t acted the way she did that day, he would have been making some very different phone calls,” she said.
