and carried her back to the car,  she said.

Emergency responders transported 22 students from the bus to the hospital via another school bus with a paramedic on board. Seven students, the bus driver and her daughter were taken by ambulance, while three students were airlifted. Four others were taken to the hospital by family members.

 I'm just glad that I was able to be put in that situation and God used me to help them, and again, my prayers go out to them and their families,  Urbaez said.

Florida seat belt laws

All school districts in Florida are required by law to have seat belts on school buses.

For the past 25 years, every new bus purchased to transport students from pre-K through high school has been required to have a seat belt for each student.

Everyone riding on the bus is required to buckle up and fasten their seat belt while the bus is moving, as enforced by school bus drivers.

The state, county, school district or school bus company cannot be held liable if someone is injured because they or another passenger weren't wearing a seat belt.
