MANNFORD, Okla. - A Mannford school bus driver is being called a hero after she saved a young boy who was choking. 

The security footage from the bus shows a 5-year-old boy gasping for air after he swallowed a penny.

That's when Ginger Maxville pulled the bus over and used the Heimlich maneuver until the coin came out of the 5-year-old's throat.

Maxville can then be heard telling the boy not to do that again because it "scared her to death."
