Students rushed to the aid of a bus driver who was struggling to breathe in Ohio, security footage shows.

As reported by ABC News, the footage shows a third-grader, Catrina, walking up to the bus driver to ask if she was OK, before returning to the back of the bus to alert the other students that something was wrong.

Catrina’s brother, seventh-grader Charlie, then grabs the driver’s radio to call for help.
