UNITED STATES

Two quick-thinking passengers on a Colorado transit bus stopped what could have turned into a tragic incident when the driver fell from their seat as the vehicle was moving, officials said. The driver of the Mountain Metropolitan Transit (MMT) bus in Colorado Springs experienced a medical emergency around 7:45 a.m. on Oct. 14, the agency told Fox News Digital. Before the driver fell from his seat, one passenger noticed his “predicament” and moved toward the front of the bus, officials said. Another rushed from the back of the bus and took control of the wheel before bringing it to a safe stop and contacting a dispatcher via the bus radio. AURARIA CAMPUS POLICE OFFICER SHOT IN DENVER, SUSPECT ARRESTED”Despite the efforts of emergency responders, the driver passed away,” the agency said. Only three passengers were on the bus at the time of the incident. Video footage from inside the bus shows the two passengers rushing to the front as the driver falls from his seat. One is seen holding what appears to be a coffee cup and is heard asking the unseen driver, “Are you all right?”The other is heard radioing a dispatcher to report the emergency while stopping the vehicle at a bus stop. TEXAS MAN ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY STEALING NEIGHBORS’ DOGS, KILLING THEM”Dispatch, I am on No. 1 southbound,” the second passenger said. “Your bus driver is having a seizure. I am parking the bus.””He’s breathing, but the seizure seems to have stopped,” he said as the bus came to a stop.MMT spokesperson Elaine Sheridan told Fox News Digital that the agency has the name of the second passenger who jumped into the driver’s seat but has not been able to reach him to get permission to disclose his identity. The other passenger left the scene before first responders arrived because he needed to get to work, she said. “We have publicly requested that these passengers contact us because we would like to provide them with passes as a token of our appreciation for their assistance that morning,” Sheridan said.She noted that the name of the driver cannot be released because of HIPAA regulations and that his family has requested privacy. All drivers on MMT buses work for Transdev, a contractor that provides operators for the transit agency.

New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo chose to be blunt about his team being in the middle of the pack in run defense this year following the team’s sixth straight loss, this time to the reeling Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Mayo called out his run defense as “soft” after watching yet another running back have his way on the ground, with Jaguars backup Tank Bigsby, filling in for the injured Travis Etienne Jr., rushing for 118 yards on 26 carries with two touchdowns.There were times during the early-window game that the Jaguars simply handed the ball off instead of calling up passes for Trevor Lawrence.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMPatriots legendary head coach Bill Belichick had many of the same guys on defense in his last season with New England in 2023, and they were the best run defense in the league last year. So, during his appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday, Belichick didn’t mince his words either when reacting to Mayo’s “soft” comment. “I’m kinda hurt for those guys because to call them soft — they’re not soft. They were the best team in the league last year against the run,” Belichick said. “Those guys went out there and did it even though we couldn’t score many points offensively. I feel bad for the defensive players on that one because that’s a tough group.”PATRIOTS HEAD COACH JEROD MAYO CALLS TEAM ‘SOFT’ AMID SIX-GAME LOSING STREAKMayo would later clarify that he didn’t believe the team was soft, but he felt they played that way on Sunday, and he said as such after the game.”We’re a soft football team across the board,” Mayo said Sunday. “We talk about what makes a tough football team. That’s being able to run the ball, being able to stop the run, and that’s being able to stop kicks, and we did none of those today.”For the Patriots’ own run game, the Jaguars held them to just 38 total yards on 15 carries, which is never a recipe for success no matter the team. “Last night, after the game, I felt like [we] just went out there and played soft. We’re playing soft at the moment,” Mayo said on Monday. “When I said playing soft, that means stopping the run, being able to run the ball and covering kicks, which we weren’t able to do. Now, saying that, do I think we have the guys that can turn this ship around? One hundred percent. But that comes through hard work, hard work comes on the practice field and going out there and getting better each and every day.”The Patriots are clearly a rebuilding team, especially considering Belichick’s departure after a 4-13 finish last year and needing to continue bolstering the roster. They did so with a new quarterback at No. 3 overall, as the Patriots took Drake Maye out of UNC. Maye has started the past two weeks after Jacoby Brissett began the year as starter. But, since shocking the Cincinnati Bengals on the road in Week 1, the Patriots have been searching for another win each week.  Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz taunted Donald Trump on Monday after the former president helped make french fries at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania over the weekend, arguing that it was a stunt while Vice President Kamala Harris “actually worked” at the chain.”Vice President Harris and I grew up middle class, we understand that. She actually worked at a McDonald’s,” Walz, the Democratic vice-presidential candidate, said on “The View.”Trump has repeatedly said that Harris did not work at McDonald’s, a job the vice president regularly touts on the campaign trail. She told Stephanie Ruhle during an interview, “Part of the reason I even talk about having worked at McDonald’s is because there are people who work at McDonald’s in our country who are trying to raise a family.”Walz accused Trump of pandering during his appearance on “The View.”TRUMP ASKS PENNSYLVANIA CROWD, ‘ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW THAN YOU WERE FOUR YEARS AGO?'”She didn’t go and pander and disrespect McDonald’s workers by standing there in your red tie and take a picture. His policies are the ones that undermine those very workers that were in that McDonald’s. Whether it’s home ownership, health care, reproductive rights, or cost of products,” Walz added.”So there’s more work to be done, but just to be very clear, nothing Donald Trump is proposing does anything about the middle class,” Walz said. “There’s work to be done. We acknowledge that. I think the vice president’s proposals are real, and they make a difference, and we need to continue that.”Walz was also pressed on Monday on his misleading statements he’s made about his past, during an otherwise friendly interview.”I do think you have to be careful about this. If it’s stating, you know, in Hong Kong in August of ’89, 35 years ago. I think people do separate that between a pathological liar like Donald Trump. They get it out there, but I do think it’s important that we’re careful about how we speak, and something for me is, I think being a teacher, being a coach, I just speak from my heart. I speak honestly. I speak in the moment,” he said.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURETrump supporters surrounded the McDonald’s restaurant as Trump spent the afternoon working as a fry cook and handing out orders after accusing Harris of lying about working at the iconic fast food chain. Harris has not provided proof she worked there, although the restaurant notes it doesn’t have employment records that date back that far. The Washington Free Beacon reported her claimed McDonald’s work during college wasn’t mentioned on her résumé a year after she graduated college and also wasn’t on a 1987 job application for a law clerk position in the Alameda County district attorney’s office. Some of her defenders have said listing a fast food job while applying for a legal job would have been inappropriate.”I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala at McDonald’s,” Trump said through the drive-thru window as he handed out orders. Trump smiled and continued to cook fries and hand out orders to customers while praising the manager and promising to make America better if he was elected president again.Fox News’ Brooke Singman and Stepheny Price contributed to this report.
