WINNIPEG – Two seniors injured in a fiery bus crash on a Manitoba highway earlier this month have been moved from a critical care unit.

Shared Health, the provincial health organization, says nine patients remain in hospital, with two of the four people receiving critical care improving.

The seniors were on board a minibus taking a day trip to a casino in Carberry in southwestern Manitoba on June 15 when the bus drove into the path of a semi-trailer truck on the Trans-Canada Highway.

The resulting high-speed collision left 16 passengers dead, including one who later died in hospital.

The 25 people on the bus, including the driver, were from Dauphin and the surrounding area.
