KEARNEY, Neb. (AP) – One of the five people hospitalized after a bus crash on a Nebraska interstate is improving, but the bus driver remains in critical condition.

Only 5 of the 41 people taken to the hospital after the Thursday wreck on Interstate 80 were admitted. Most of the people in the wreck involving a Denver-bound bus and two semitrailers sustained minor injuries.

Good Samaritan Hospital spokeswoman Marsha Wilkerson said Friday that bus passenger 77-year-old Barbara Bishop, of Hemet, Calif., had improved to good condition from serious. The Burlington Trailways bus driver, 50-year-old Michelle Anderson, of Omaha, remained critical Friday.

Three other people remained in fair condition: 48-year-old Danny Briggs, of St. George, Utah; and 50-year-old Willie Abner, of Birmingham, Ala., 39-year-old Mohammed Arguini, of Antioch, Tenn.
