He Noticed Something
PexelsAfter making one of his usual stops, he saw that everyone had boarded his bus except for an old man.
A Hot Day
PexelsHe knew that the sun was really showing off that day and the temperature was around 110 degrees, which didn’t make it any safer for anyone to be standing outside for too long.
A Closer Look
YouTube, KSNV News 3 Las VegasMike took a closer look at the man’s face before driving away. That’s when he saw the old man trying to hold onto the wall but not being able to reach it. He looked up at Mike, asking for help and that’s when he flew into action.
Helping The Man
YouTube, KSNV News 3 Las VegasMike immediately helped the man get on the bus and helped him sit down. The 92-year-old seemed to be having a heat stroke so the bus driver offered him something to drink.
Twitter People Know Him
PexelsOne of his passengers that day snapped a photo of him helping the old man and posted it on Twitter. When asked if he knew about Twitter, Mike joked, “No… I guess I might have to learn how to do Twitter huh?”
Commending Him
YouTube, KSNV News 3 Las VegasHis boss, Francis Julien, reached out to him to thank him for his heroic deed. He said, “Michael is actually a really really good driver… never got into any kind of trouble so it’s actually funny that he thought he would be in any kind of trouble.”
