A FAMILY of three who survived the fatal bus crash last Friday in Arizona, the United States, will arrive back in Shanghai this evening.

Another four tourists in the group who weren't on the bus will also return by the same flight.

Eight-year-old Wu Shuang and his parents, Wu Shougui and Bao Ruihua, were released from hospital earlier this week.

The boy was thrown out of the coach when it overturned but fortunately landed in the sand and only suffered slight concussion. Most tourists thrown out of the bus were killed.

His parents were injured but were never in a critical condition.

Seven people were killed in the accident, six of whom were tourists who departed from Shanghai. Another 10 were injured, six of whom are still in hospital, two in critical condition.

The victims' families flew to the US on Tuesday and yesterday to sort out affairs.
