MIDLAND -- As of Monday night, four people from Thursday's Midland train tragedy remain hospitalized -- but only one of those people is still being treated a Permian Basin hospital.
Originally hospital officials say 17 people were rushed to Midland Memorial Hospital after a freight train hit a Show of Support parade float carrying 12 veterans and their 12 spouses.
Midland city officials say as of Sunday evening, one military veteran remains at M.M.H. -- where they're listed in stable condition.
A wife of one of the military veterans -- who had been listed in critical condition at M.M.H. -- was transferred to a hospital near their hometown on Monday.
Midland city officials say the third victim who remains hospitalized was transferred to a hometown hospital this past weekend.
The fourth victim who remains hospitalized is Tiffanie Lubbers -- the wife of one of the four veterans killed.
Mrs. Lubbers was flown to University Medical Center Hospital in Lubbock Thursday night. She was the only person to be transferred by helicopter out of Midland the night of train tragedy.
Mrs. Lubbers was reportedly listed in satisfactory condition as of Sunday, but hospital officials say she's been added to the privacy list so no additional information will be released on her.
