Assistant coach Chip Baker rescued the Florida State baseball team from a potential tragedy Thursday by taking the wheel of a speeding bus and steering it safely off a San Francisco highway after the driver collapsed from an apparent heart attack.

The driver, an employee of Peninsula Charter Lines, received CPR on the scene but was dead upon arrival at Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco Medical Center, Brisbane fire Capt. Dave Rosenlund said. Authorities did not release the driver's name.

The Seminoles were not injured, but they were shaken.
