Like, it was my job to stay calm,” WilliamsWilliams noticed an odd smell and smoke just before her destination, the Milwaukee Academy of Science. She called dispatch, but that didn’t go according to plan.
“I could barely get what I was trying to say out because of the smoke was hitting me in the face and my eyes so I was just like, ‘OK forget the radio. I’ll just get the kids off the bus,’” she said.“I think that’s what it was. My mommy instincts kicked in really fast,” she said.“I was the last person off. Once I got off, I turned around and I just seen flames,” said Williams.
“Of course I wanted to make sure that I was safe, baby was safe. If it was my kid on the bus, I would’ve wanted the bus driver to act the same way that I did.”“A bus started to smoke and caught fire,” the police department said in a statement to TODAY. “The driver and the occupants were all able to exit. No injuries were reported; however, the driver was transported to a local hospital as a precaution. The cause of the fire is under investigation; however, does not appear to be suspicious at this time.”“Everyone’s OK, so that just makes me happy,” she said.Drew Weisholtz is a reporter for TODAY Digital, focusing on pop culture, nostalgia and trending stories.
