More than 25 more people were treated for minor injuries, she said.Kruse said the critically injured were considered to have life-threatening injuries.
So far, 40 people have been taken to local hospitals by ambulance and one person has been flown to a hospital, she said.

."You saw pieces and parts going everywhere," he said. "Everyone is in disbelief."
