China bus driver hailed as hero

CHINA - The Chinese are hailing a bus driver who maintained control of a bus after being struck by a metal object that smashed through his windscreen.

The bus driver, Wu Bin, 48, is being called a hero by the government of Hangzhou, capital of eastern China's Zhejiang Province reported China Central Television.

The driver died on Friday from the injury that had damaged his liver and broken three of his ribs.

He fought through the pain to stop the bus, turn on the hazard lights, put on the parking brake and advised passengers to remain seated before collapsing.

The police are still investigating the accident.
