A 42-year-old woman is being praised online for her bravery and presence of mind to take charge of the vehicle on January 7.

After picnicking at an agro-tourism centre in Shirur, near Pune, Yogita Satav was travelling with 20 to 23 women and children. Suddenly, the driver reportedly began to have fits and the bus came to a complete halt in the middle of a deserted road. Satav stepped in to take control of the bus as the women and children on board began to panic and weep, and took him to the hospital.

 "I decided to take care of the bus because I could drive a car. The first and most critical responsibility was to ensure that the driver received sufficient medical attention. As a result, I drove to a neighbouring hospital and had him admitted, "Satav stated.
