Cop saves 37 lives as bus driver faints in China

Beijing: A Chinese policeman used his presence of mind and save 37 passengers in a bus when he took control of the vehicle after its driver suddenly lost consciousness, in China's Zhejiang province.

The bus was travelling at a speed of about 100 km per hour in Taishun when passengers realised that the driver had fainted at the wheel.

Li Shihui, a policeman sitting right behind the driver, immediately took control of the wheel and steered the bus seconds before it was going to crash into another truck.

A week later, the bus company presented a silk banner to Li's office.
