=======
A California City 9-year-old is being called a hero after she called 911 when her bus driver suddenly became ill and slumped over the wheel.
The bus was making its final stop on its route and had only a few students inside when the Mojave Unified School student noticed something was wrong.
The 4th grader ran home from the bus and called emergency personnel on a cell phone. She then ran back to the bus and stayed with the bus driver until they were located.
The driver was taken to a local hospital for a non life-threatening illness.
