Maharashtra: Woman drives bus for 10 km after driver suffers seizure
Pune, Jan 15: A 42-year-old woman showed her presence of mind by taking control of a mini bus, carrying women and children, after the driver suffered a seizure in Maharashtra's Pune district, an official said on Saturday.
A video of the incident, which took place on January 7, has gone viral on social media.
The woman, Yogita Satav, was travelling with other women and children after picnicking at an agro-tourism centre in Shirur near Pune.
The driver showed signs of a seizure and stopped the vehicle in the middle of a deserted road.
As the women and children in the bus started panicking and crying, Satav stepped in to take control of the wheel and drove him to a hospital.
"Since I knew how to drive a car, I decided to take charge of the bus. The first important task was to get the driver proper medical treatment. So, I drove to a nearby hospital and admitted him there," Satav said.
The woman, who drove 10 km, also dropped the other passengers home.
Satav has garnered praise from all quarters, as she showed courage in the face of crisis and didn't panic.

Damage control after proclaiming himself non-biological: Jairam Ramesh on PM saying he's human
New Delhi, Jan 10: After Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a podcast that he is human and not god and can commit mistakes, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh Friday took a swipe at him saying he is doing damage control now after he proclaimed himself as "non-biological".
Modi in his first podcast hosted by Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath, said it has been his life's mantra that he may make mistakes but he will not do anything wrong out of bad intentions.
"This from a man who proclaimed his non-biological status just eight months back. This is clearly damage control," Ramesh said in a post on X.
In the interaction, Modi said, "When I became (Gujarat) chief minister I said I will not spare any effort to work hard. I will not do anything for myself. And, thirdly, I am human and I can make mistakes. But I will not do anything wrong out of bad intentions. i have made it a mantra of my life. Mistakes are inevitable. I must have made mistakes. I am a human too, not a god."
