1. Young English teacher saved the lives of thirty students when he took control of a bus after its driver suffered a fatal heart attack. Guy Harold, 24, had collected the students and three course leaders from Gatwick airport and they were traveling to Bournemouth to meet their host families. They were going to start a course at the International Language Academy in Bournemouth where Harold works as a teacher.

2. Harold, who has not passed his driving test, said, "I realized that the bus was out of control when I was speaking to the students on the microphone." The bus collided with trees at the side of the road and he noticed the driver was slumped over the wheel. The driver didn't move. He was unconscious.

3. "We hit a barrier and swerved to the other side of the road and I grabbed the wheel," Harold explained. "The driver's legs were over the pedals and I had difficulty reaching the brakes. We hit a lamp post and it shattered the glass on the front door before I managed to bring the bus to a halt." Police praised the young teacher's quick thinking. If he hadn't reacted quickly, there could have been a terrible accident.

4. The bus driver never regained consciousness. He was later pronounced dead at East Surrey hospital. He had worked regularly with the school and was very well regarded by the staff.
