Reports say that Franklin County deputies received a call last Friday morning regarding a school bus driver. The Alabama bus driver was allegedly driving erratically, so deputies responded to the call.

But before they could track down the school bus, a concerned mother reportedly saw the bus swerving and pulled in front of it in order to force it to stop. The mother was under the belief that the driver must have been having a medical emergency, per reports.

The mother, who was taking her own children to school, boarded the bus and found that the 58-year-old driver's speech was slurred. The children on board the bus were reportedly terrified.

Once deputies arrived, they administered a field sobriety test to the driver. She failed.
