LAS VEGAS, United States, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- The condition of a Chinese
woman tourist critically injured in last week's tour bus crash in Arizona has
improved, a spokesman of the hospital where she is receiving treatment said
Friday.
The condition of the 35-year-old woman from Shanghai has been upgraded from
critical to serious, while that of another woman was still critical, said Rick
Plummer, spokesman of the University Medical Center in Las Vegas.
Two other crash victims, a 61-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman were
still receiving treatment at the medical center, and both were in good
condition, Plummer said.
He said the condition of the 48-year-old local bus driver was stable.
Two other injured Chinese tourists, an 18-year-old girl and a 57-year-old
man, admitted to the Sunrise Hospital, were in fair condition.
A bus carrying 15 Chinese tourists, a driver and a tour guide crashed last
Friday on a road near the Hoover Dam. Six tourists and the guide died. Nine
tourists and the driver were injured.
The bus was on its way to Las Vegas after a one-day trip to the Grand
Canyon in Arizona when the accident occurred.
The injured were sent to two hospitals in Las Vegas, about 100 km north of
the crash site. Three tourists who suffered only minor injuries returned to
China earlier this week.
