N.J. girl grabs wheel when grandfather dies

BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. – A 12-year-old New Jersey girl steered a car to safety when her grandfather died at the wheel with his foot on the accelerator.

Miranda Bowman was returning to her Burlington Township home after spending the day racing go-karts at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville with 63-year-old Paul Parker on Tuesday.

Bowman told The Burlington County Times that her grandfather told her that he didn't feel good and felt scared before closing his eyes and putting his head on the glass.
