Officials say a barbecue fundraiser at the sheriff's station in Norwalk on Wednesday was a huge success, and they anticipate more donations from agencies who couldn't make it. The money will help the injured recruits with medical and living expenses.
One of the recruits who was injured in the crash earlier this month remains in grave condition. Three others are in critical condition and the rest have been released from the hospital.
