He sideswiped cars and drove against traffic and even wrecked the bus’ side view mirrors.

The collision happened right after leaving the school, and there were minor scrapes along the way as well.
Students recalled that shortly after driving out of the school gate, the driver sideswiped a white sedan parked by the roadside. After apologizing, he drove off and veered into the oncoming lane, crashing directly into a street lamp, shocking nearby residents.

We were inside when we heard a huge crash, the street lamp’s bulb fell off from the impact of the bus and rolled under the wheels.
The bus driver hadn’t been feeling well, experiencing symptoms resembling a stroke. Paramedics later confirmed it was a case of heat exhaustion. The driver forced himself to continue driving despite his condition. He sideswiped cars and a streetlamp, managing to drive 1.7 km before stopping at a red light. An alert student rushed to the driver’s seat, turned off the engine and guided the other students off the bus.

I noticed his body going limp and I felt that something was very wrong, so I turned off the bus’ engine. I was nervous at the time, but I wanted to react before something life-threatening happened.

Fortunately, this student performed a heroic act and prevented a tragedy.
None of the students on board were injured and were promptly picked up by another school bus. The school gave the student a red envelope containing NT$200, commending him for his bravery and for preventing a serious crisis.

嘉義校車司機"不適硬撐危駕1.7公里" 學生機警熄火救全車
2026-09-14
嘉義一所高中的校車司機，日前放學載著20多名學生，突然身體不適，但他卻硬撐著開車，結果沿路擦撞轎車、逆向撞路燈，連後照鏡都被撞飛，危險行駛1.7公里。幸好車上一名機警的同學，發現狀況不對，趁停紅燈時，衝到駕駛座"強制熄火"，讓同學們平安下車。
-高血壓 糖尿病 心臟病?
-有啦
-你有什麼?
-心臟病
-有高血壓嗎?
-沒有
救護人員趕到現場，只見校車司機全身無力，但其實他上一秒，才開著校車，載學生下課，途中卻突然身體不適，車上學生嚇得打119求救。
[[當事學生]]
“出校門就發生碰撞，沿路也都有稍微的碰撞。”
學生回憶，當時校車司機剛開出校門，就先擦撞停在路邊的白色轎車，司機下車道歉後，開車離開，卻又整輛車逆向，開到對向車道，直接撞上路燈，讓附近民眾都嚇壞。
[[目擊民眾]]
“那個司機好像有問題(身體不舒服)，因為它兩邊照後鏡都沒了，它偏旁邊的時候有去撞到汽車，可是它還有撞到其他物件。”
[[目擊民眾]]
“我們是在裡面聽到碰一聲很大聲，路燈的燈泡(被撞)掉下來，滾到車輪裡面。”
校車司機當下不舒服的症狀，就像中風，經救護人員確認後，才發現是熱衰竭，但他硬撐著身體不適開車，沿路擦撞轎車和路燈，足夠讓學生嚇出一身冷汗，他就這麼開了1.7公里，直到一處路口停等紅燈，才有機警的學生跑到駕駛座，強制熄火，引導其他同學下車。
[[當事學生]]
“看他身體越來越軟，然後我覺得不太對勁，所以我就先把車子熄火。當下也是蠻緊張的，但是想說趕快處理好，不要有生命危險之類的事情發生。”
[[學校秘書 洪先生]]
“幸好這位同學，做了這個比較算是英雄的事蹟，避免這個憾事的發生。”
還好車上20幾名同學，都沒有受傷，由其他校車接送離開，校方事後也包了2百元紅包，大讚這位同學的英勇行為，避免了更嚴重的校車危機。
