A college baseball player pulled from the wreckage of a bus crash that killed several of his teammates died of his injuries Friday, raising the death toll to seven, a hospital spokeswoman said. Zach Arend, 18, had been in critical condition since the March 7 crash and died early Friday morning, The Associated Press quoted Grady Memorial Hospital spokeswoman Denise Simpson as saying. Arend's grandmother, Ann Miller, had said the young man suffered chest and abdominal injuries, a fractured pelvis and collapsed lungs. Four of his Bluffton University teammates, the bus driver and the driver's wife were killed when the charter bus went off an overpass in Atlanta and crashed onto the Interstate 75 pavement below. More than two dozen others aboard were injured. Investigators have said the driver apparently mistook an exit ramp for a highway lane, continued along it without stopping at an intersection at the top of the ramp and then went over the edge.
