An 11-year schoolboy boy drove a car to help save his grandmother’s life and is being hailed a hero. The young boy, PJ Brewer-Laye, made the decision of getting behind the wheel, when he saw that his grandmother was feeling shaky and needed help.
He was driving his go-kart around his neighbourhood while his grandmother, Angela Brewer-Laye, was our for a walk. When he passed her, he noticed that she was leaning against a road sign and her vision had reportedly weakened; She had started to feel shaky as her blood glucose levels had dropped to a dangerously low 40 mg, reported New York Post.

Without giving it a second thought, he immediately took matters into his own hands and drove his go-kart to the house and returned with his grandmother’s Mercedes Benz.
Angela told 11Alive, “I was leaning against a stop sign, then all of a sudden I looked to my right and I saw my car, my Mercedes Benz coming towards me. Wait a minute. Looked in the car. It was him, it was PJ.”

Of course, PJ does not have a driving license, but he still knew how to drive as had moved cars for his grandfather in their yard before.
She added, “He drove me home, and he pulled in the driveway. And when I say he pulled in the driveway so precise, because my driveway is kind of narrow … He didn’t go up the curb, in the grass, nothing. He pulled in the driveway, in the garage, and helped me out the car.”
The boy then helped his grandma into the house and gave her some glucose tablets.
What a hero!
