| An 8-year-old US girl is being hailed for her quick, calm thinking after she grabbed the steering wheel and drove the family's SUV when her mother passed out as they drove to school.
Abby Porter and her mother, Shelly, were headed to her school in Riverton, Kansas, when Shelly had a medical emergency, Galena Police Chief Larry Delmont said.
With her mother slumped over, Abby - whose father sometimes lets her steer their tractor and lawn mower - leaned over and took the wheel.
"I thought I was trying to panic and then I got the idea to grab the steering wheel," the 8-year-old told WOAM TV news.
Delmont said at some point, Abby even executed a U-turn on the four-lane highway, "because she was going home to her daddy."
