Paramedics hail 'hero' boy from Arizona bus crash


Oscar Rodriguez, 11, talks to Gila River paramedics in his room at Maricopa Medical Center in Phoenix, Saturday, March 6, 2010. Oscar, 11-years-old, was a passenger on the bus that overturned and was injured in the accident on Interstate 10 Friday. Despite his injuries, the boy helped paramedics on the scene by translating for patients who didn't speak English. The paramedics were so appreciative of Oscar's efforts that they brought him a fireman's helmet, a jersey and a certificate recognizing his work. (AP Photo/The Arizona Republic, Jack Kurtz)
