ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – Of the 11 students injured in Monday’s school bus accident on Interstate 55 near Litchfield, Illinois, only two remain hospitalized.  Both are in St. Louis hospitals, and both required surgery on badly broken legs.  But considering the damage done to the bus, many are feeling grateful it wasn’t worse. 

Sean Snyder was seated just three rows from the front on the right side of the bus, the part that was most severely damaged.  His mother saw the video hours later, and still can’t believe it.

“I thought that it was a wonder that everybody got out of that alive,” Chris Sander said from her son’s hospital bedside.   “And with no life threatening injuries.”

She says she didn’t know how severe Sean’s injuries were at first.  It turned out his leg was broken in two places.  He was going to be airlifted to St. Louis for surgery, but he was the one doing the comforting when mom arrived at the hospital.
