Rod Price, who drives Boone County school bus 334 for Thornwilde Elementary, was recently approached by a fifth grade student who was choking and beginning to turn blue.
Rod jumped into action, performing the Heimlich maneuver to dislodge the object, thus saving the students life.
"We have wonderful employees throughout the district and we are so grateful to have people like Rod taking care of our students," said Facebook post by the school system.
