I saw information about it in our local newspaper and then, I thought, it was worth to post since Laura Zborowski, the bus driver, showed unusual courage.
She has a Polish name, not even modified or Americanized..... so I am proud of her.

According to police, the bus driver, 51-year-old Laura Zborowski, was conducting bus safety drills with a group of 38 students before classes started.
The students successfully completed one drill using the bus’s side door.
The students then moved to the back of the bus to practice exiting from the rear door.
But just as Zborowski was helping the last student off of the bus, it started rolling in reverse.
According to Fox8, Zborowski threw the child to safety, but there was no time for her to get out of the way.
The bus rolled over Zborowski and dragged her halfway down a hill.
It finally stopped when it crashed into a tree.
Zborowski was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
Bus company, Petermann, released the following statement:
“We are sad to confirm that one of our bus drivers passed away this morning while assisting in a rear exit evacuation drill… We are working with local authorities and conducting an internal investigation of the incident.”
She has a Polish name, not even modified or Americanized..... so I am proud of her.
