Above and Beyond: Little child in busy road rescued by bus driver

DAGSBORO – Ronna Cobb wears several hats with the Indian River School District.

She is a bus driver for the district and a paraprofessional at Phillip Showell Elementary School in Selbyville.

In the eyes of Selbyville Police Department Detective Larry Corrigan and the school district, she is a life-saver.

This real-life story was shared by Det. Corrigan as the Indian River School District at its Nov. 28 board of education meeting honored Ms. Cobb with its “Above and Beyond Award.”

Ms. Cobb’s quick response, actions and preventive measures may have prevented tragedy after a three-year-old boy clad in pajamas had wandered into a busy roadway.
