Victim Of Boston Bus Crash May Transfer To Philly Hospital

Posted: Updated:
BOSTON, MA -

The parents of a victim seriously injured in a bus crash in Boston hope to transfer their son to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia.

Matthew Cruz was one of 39 students and chaperones injured when the bus they were on slammed into an overpass earlier this month. The group was on its way home to Pennsylvania after a tour of Harvard University.

Cruz underwent multiple spinal fractures and has been recovering at a Boston hospital ever since.

His parents say his condition has improved and they hope he can continue his recovery at a hospital that is closer to home.

    Thursday weather looks damp and stormy.  It will be mild and muggy to start with spotty showers early followed by afternoon and evening storms.  Highs in the upper 70s with winds out of the SW 5-10 mph. Some of the storms will produce locally heavy rain and gusty winds.

    This system is from the same cold front that caused the midwest tornadoes. It will also usher in cooler air for the holiday weekend.
