The California student kept a close eye on the bus driver and was alarmed by her driving. “She stuck on the brakes real hard and a couple of the kids went flying,” Troy told CBS Sacramento. Called 911 and the driver was stopped When the driver then missed a turn and sped onto the highway Troy knew something wasn’t right. The smart 10-year-old called 911 and officers were there to apprehend the driver at her next stop. “I was like, ‘Okay, I’m just going to make the 911 call.’” Troy said. “And I made the call. “My friends were trying to talk me out of it,” Troy said, according to Fox News “I said, ‘I don’t care, I don’t feel right.’ So, I just did it.” ‘Failed sobriety test’ The driver, who was in charge of around 30 kids on the bus aged between 5 and 10 years old, was stopped by police and failed a sobriety test.
She was charged with driving under the influence of a controlled substance and endangering the welfare of children, CBS Sacramento reported.
