Slow recovery for man who fell out of a moving bus in Spring Valley

If you’ve been following the story of a Spring Valley man falling out of a moving school bus, his condition hasn’t improved.

Forty-year-old Joseph Marchiando is still listed in critical condition at St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria.  He was flown there Saturday after losing his balance and falling out the door of a moving school bus.

The 48-year-old was part of a group that rented the bus to take them back and forth from a golf outing.  Others on the bus say Marchiando was standing up talking to them when he fell down the bus’ steps.  The driver says she was slowing to make a turn and stopped the bus as soon as Marchiando fell out.

The fall happened in the 300 block of East Dakota Street.
