Brooklyn Bailey
There were some scary moments on a Mountain Home School District bus Wednesday during afternoon drop off of students when one of the kids got choked on candy and was unable to breathe. Other students alerted the driver of the bus, David Luttrell, who was able to stop the bus and perform the Heimlich maneuver on 13-year-old Brooklyn Bailey, saving her life.
