"Heroic" Toronto bus driver pulls over to save man's life

Share! :D
A Toronto bus driver is being called "heroic," and credited with saving a man's life earlier this month.

Reanna Bourque, who joined the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) in October 2021, was driving the 134 Progress bus in Scarborough -- a community in the Greater Toronto Area -- when she noticed an "individual in distress."

She notified transit control, pulled the bus over safely to the side of a bridge and got out to walk and talk with the man. Bourque physically held the man, with the help of three bus passengers, until first responders arrived to care for him. Caryn Lieberman has the details.
