There was a report from fire and emergency that 11 people were transported, 4 received basic life support and 7 advanced life support.

Life support in an EMS setting is very different from the hospital.

The difference in BLS and ALS in an ambulance would be that the ALS bus administered an IV.

So to say that 7 people are at the hospital on life support is not something that was communicated or confirmed.
