Kid saves family with Mario Kart skills

10-year old Gryffin Sanders managed to take control of his grandmother’s car when she passed out while driving on the highway.

Griffin leaned over and directed the car away from oncoming traffic and into a ditch on the side of the road in order to stop to car, which was said to be going close to 100 km/h.
