Hero of the day ![]() Boy, 8, grabs wheel after grandma suffers seizure Source GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.—Authorities said an 8-year-old boy grabbed control a pickup and brought it safely to a stop after his grandmother had a seizure while driving on a western Colorado interstate. Authorities said Lisa DeKruger suffered a seizure while driving at about 75 mph on Interstate 70 outside Grand Junction on Sunday. Authorities said her grandson, Dillon Earl, was in the passenger seat and grabbed the wheel. DeKruger's foot slipped off the accelerator, and Dillon kept the pickup in the right-hand lane till it came to a stop. Another motorist called 911. Family members said DeKruger is doing well. No other injuries were reported. Very clever little boy! Hope Grandma stays out from behind the wheel now.

| this is news! I sure hope it is reported here in Houston. Seems only horrible events are touted as news these days and heroic acts such as these slip through the cracks. |

| Cool Beans! A friend of mine also has seizures. Her son had a provisional drivers license since the age of 12. It allowed him to drive his mom home if she had a seizure. She made sure that he knew how to drive. |
