A school bus driver from Lawrenceburg, Indiana, Amber Pickett, became a hero when she rescued the IU Indy men’s basketball team from their burning bus on the interstate. The team invited Pickett to their last regular season game on Saturday to show their appreciation. The bus caught fire due to a mechanical failure while the team was returning to Indianapolis from a game in Northern Kentucky. Pickett, who lived nearby, responded to the emergency call and offered her school bus to transport the stranded team to a local pizza shop. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident, and the team eventually made it back safely to campus. In gratitude for her heroic actions, the basketball team invited Pickett to sit courtside at their game and presented her with a game ball signed by the players as a token of their appreciation. Pickett, humbled by the gesture, emphasized the importance of kindness and spreading love in a world filled with hate. The team’s coach also praised her quick thinking and selfless actions that helped ensure the safety of the team.
