Officials with Children’s Wisconsin hospital said eight patients injured in last weekend’s Christmas parade crash in suburban Milwaukee are still being treated at the hospital.
The facility originally received 18 patients after the driver of a red SUV roared through the parade in Waukesha, killing six people and injuring more than 60.
One Children’s Wisconsin patient was released on Friday and another was able to come home for Thanksgiving. Out of the eight remaining patients, four are in serious condition, two are in fair condition and two are in good condition.
