The bus driver had \"became lightheaded and lost consciousness\" while driving along Masonic Boulevard near Bunert Road in Warren, according to the superintendent.
The incident was caught on video and the driver can be seen radioing for help before suddenly passing out. Dillon then rushes to the front of the bus and puts his foot on the brake before yelling to his fellow schoolmates to call 911.

Livernois said first responders from the Warren police and fire departments later \"tended to the driver\" and helped to safely move students onto a different bus, which then completed the original route and transported the students home.
After the incident, Dillon and his parents, Ireta and Steve Reeves, sat down with WXYZ. Dillon said he wasn't \"expecting anything out of it.\"

When his son was honored Wednesday, Steve Reeves said the recognition was \"so good\" for both Dillon and the community.
\"We need more of this in the world. We need to be cared for and take care of people. I'm sure there is more to come,\" Steve Reeves said.
