Bus driver rescues kids from fiery crash. Matt O'Donnell reports during Action News at 4:30 a.m. on November 15, 2017.

Surveillance video shows a Georgia school bus driver helping to save middle school students from a fiery crash.

A pick-up truck slammed into the bus in Douglasville on Friday.

Bus driver Shuronda Crawford-Richardson says her first concern was the three children on board.

She saw smoke and so did a few other people who stopped to help.

Everyone made it off the bus safely. The driver of the pick-up truck survived.

The Douglas County School District plans to honor Crawford-Richardson for her lifesaving actions.
