http://www.cruisecritic.co.uk/news/news.cfm?ID=3082 - Fourteen Celebrity Summit passengers, injured in Monday's vehicular accident on Dominica, were flown to Miami late last night aboard three air ambulances and an additional aircraft -- chartered by Celebrity Cruises -- and were transferred to Jackson Memorial Hospital.
According to the latest statement from the cruise line, one of the 14 guests brought to the facility has already been discharged. The other 13 guests will likely spend a few days at the hospital, "if not longer," depending on their individual circumstances.
In total, there were 16 passengers involved in the crash, which happened during a ship-sponsored shore excursion. Two sustained minor injuries and rejoined the ship on Monday. The remaining crash victims were transferred to the Miami hospital, since it's the closest U.S. trauma center to Dominica that's sufficiently equipped to evaluate the extent of the injuries and provide necessary treatment.
