Hospital officials say a man in his 30s is in critical condition and undergoing surgery after a shuttle van struck a downtown Seattle building.
Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Barbara Clements also said Thursday that two women, 28 and 39, and a 52-year-old man were in satisfactory condition.
The shuttle that carries passengers throughout the city jumped a sidewalk and struck a Gap store.

The van driver sustained minor injuries.
Clements says another patient initially reported as connected to the crash was, in fact, not involved.
