Michigan Kids Save School Bus Driver from Scary Health Incident

A group of Michigan kids are heroes after saving their school bus driver from a scary incident. It's this kind of story that warms my heart. I feel good about the future, knowing that kids these days are smart enough, and caring enough, to think quickly and act fast in a scary situation.

Late last week around 6:45 a.m., a bus was in the Mulliken taking students to Grand Ledge schools. A spokesman (according to WLNS) said the bus driver begin to suffer from a medical condition and had to pull the bus over. The bus driver then tried to get in touch with dispatch over the radio but couldn't talk much.

Can you imagine how scary this was for students? I remember when I was young enough to take the bus to school, the biggest thing we had to worry about was if we were picking too many dandelions to give the bus driver. I don't remember any kind of a panicky incident on busing during my entire time in school. That said, these kids were prepared and knew exactly what to do to save their driver.

When students realized their bus driver was in serious trouble, they called 911. Another student used the radio to tell the dispatch that something wasn't right. Eventually, a volunteer firefighter came, followed by an ambulance. The good news is that the bus driver survived, according to WLNS. The students were driven to school by another employee who showed up and finished the route. Big kudos to these students for their hard work and quick action, which ended up saving a life. It's such a feel-good story and one definitely worth sharing. Moreover, these parents should give their kids props for doing the right thing in a sticky situation. For more on this story, go here.

If you're curious which cities in Michigan have residents with the highest median household income, we have the list for you. It's surprising how much median household income differs from one city to the next. For example, the highest median household income in Michigan is $108,432.33, and the lowest is $11,667. I guess that just goes to show how diverse Michigan is demographically and how some areas of the state have a higher cost of living.

The crew at Zip Atlas has published an updated list of those median household incomes using a variety of data. The site offers a "structured collection of zip code, area code, city and state demographic, social and economic profiles," according to their official website. They add, "Here you will find employment and unemployment rates, industry statistics, household and personal income reports, property value assessment, housing unit occupancy and vacancy breakdown, mortgage and rent analysis, age, gender, ancestry and racial profiles, education attainment levels and school enrolment among many others." In other words, they've complied a range of data in different areas in one locale, including what Michiganders across the state are bringing home in their paychecks.

According to the Zip Atlas study, none of the top 10 cities in the U.S. with the highest median household income are located in Michigan. No. 1 is Short hills, New Jersey, at $185,466, followed by Purchase, New York and Villa Maria, Pennsylvania. In fact, Michigan doesn't even have one city in the top 100 cities in the U.S. That said, Michigan does have some cities that fall inside the top 200 and 300 cities with the highest tally.

So, which Michigan cities have the highest median household incomes? View the list of cities below all the way up to No. 1, and see if your city made the cut. For more information, visit the Zip Atlas website here.
