UPDATE: Monday, July 17 (3:20 p.m.)

Manitoba's health authority says five people remain in hospital, but no more patients are in intensive care following last month's fiery bus crash on a major highway.

A group of seniors from Dauphin and the area were on a minibus taking a trip to a casino in Carberry when it drove into the path of a semi-trailer truck on the Trans-Canada Highway.

The 17th fatality from the crash was announced Sunday.

Those who died have been remembered as beloved grandparents, mothers, fathers, and siblings.
