It was one of those visuals that we hear about all the time, but when faced with it — up close — it’s difficult to fathom.
Bus driver Darnell Barton — heading across a highway overpass on a Friday afternoon earlier this month with a vehicle full of high schoolers on their way home — peered out his right-side door and noticed a woman standing on the other side of the guardrail, with nothing between her and the expressway below.

“I didn’t think it was real with everything else going on around her,” Barton told the Buffalo News. “Traffic was proceeding as normal and a couple of pedestrians walked right by her and a bicyclist rode by. [emphasis added]
“I mean, they were inches from her.”
Barton, however, couldn’t just drive by.
So he stopped the bus, opened the door, and called out to the woman: “Do you need help?

Good for him. Everyone learned a lesson that day. I hope the young woman gets whatever help she needs.

Sniff. Darn it!

I was just thinking about the kids. Usually, they act up. They make a fuss when they shouldn't. They walk where they shouldn't. The volume is down, but I don't see any kids getting nosy at the door. They must have really sat back and let the driver do his thing. Good for the driver. I'm glad to hear that others eventually came by as well. I hope she can get the help she needs.
