GREENSBURG - The St. Helena Parish School District congratulated one of its bus drivers for avoiding a potentially-serious car crash Thursday morning. 

The district said bus driver Antionette Davis was on her route with two students already on board when a driver traveling in the opposite direction appeared to have fallen asleep at the wheel, swerving into Davis' lane. 

The vehicle side-swiped the bus but Davis was able to avoid a more serious incident. 

All who were involved were reported to be OK and a substitute driver picked up the remaining students on the route. 

"Thank you, Ms. Davis, for your swift action," the district posted.
