Bus driver who died saving tourists honored

A bus driver was posthumously honored a "Good Samaritan of Zhangjiajie" on Friday by the publicity department of Zhangjiajie city, Hunan province, after he suddenly fell ill at the wheel but managed to bring his vehicle to a safe stop, saving the lives of all 12 people on board. He later died from the illness.

On July 7, a travel agency representative presented a banner of thanks to a transportation company on behalf of the group of South Korean tourists whose lives had been saved by 41-year-old Xiao Bo, the driver.

The incident occurred on the evening of June 29, when Xiao was driving 11 South Korean visitors and their guide on an expressway toward Zhangjiajie. At around 9:13 pm, dashcam footage captured the coach drifting out of its lane and weaving across the road.
