A Texas fourth-grader is being credited with saving the lives of everyone on his school bus.
 
The driver got dizzy and passed out while behind the wheel. 
 
She says despite her fan and the A/C, she started to develop vertigo. 
 
That's when a 9-year-old boy jumped into action. The boy helped the driver get to the next stop, where some parents called 911.
 
The woman spent two days in the hospital, but she's already back at work.
 
She says she knows she would have crashed into something, if the brave little boy wasn't there to help her.
