Students at a suburban Denver high school where a school bus driver was killed and high school football players and staffers injured Sunday resumed classes Monday.
Local media reported that the bus was carrying players and coaches from Broomfield Legacy High School, who were returning from a game in California.
Fifteen students and three coaches were being treated at four area hospitals for different injuries.
Denver Health told 9NEWS they had five patients in their care – two are in critical condition, two are in serious condition and one person is in fair condition.
Uninjured students gathered with parents inside the airport after the crash, The Denver Post reported.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
The bus is reported to be from Legacy High School, which is in Broomfield, Colorado, and is part of Adams 12 Five Star Schools.
Farr said that the driver’s route was “curious” and that she “should not have been coming back up, but she did”.
