Police Caught This 8-Year-Old Driving on the Highway - Her Reason Why Makes Her a Hero (VIDEO)
Shelly Porter was driving her daughter Abby to school in Riverton, Kan. Wednesday morning when she passed out. The situation could have turned tragic, but Abby didn't hesitate to take control of the wheel, even doing a U-turn on the highway to head back home.
"I was driving, then I turned around to get to my dad's house and then this police car came up," Abby told KOAM.
Office Jimmy Hamilton of the Galena Police Department saw the erratic vehicle and pulled up to investigate. That's when he saw Abby and her unconscious mom. He convinced the terrified second-grader to slowly bump his patrol car's rear bumper. When she did, he hit the brakes and slowed both vehicles to a stop.
