Annette Howard, the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) bus driver who bravely rescued more than 100 traumatised passengers from a wrecked American Airlines jet, is being rewarded with a trip to Disney World for her efforts.

The jet overran a runway at the Norman Manley International Airport and was badly crumpled in December last year. Howard, who was first on the scene, loaded the injured passengers on the bus and ferried them to a police station at the Norman Manley International Airport.

No one died in the incident.

Howard's two sons and her mother, will depart the island tomorrow for a three-day visit to Disney World, a theme park and recreational resort in Orlando.

She was granted a wish she expressed to Prime Minister Bruce Golding during a courtesy call at Jamaica House days after the event.
