BOURNE (CBS) – Two teenage brothers who were injured Tuesday in a Bourne crash remain in critical condition but have shown some positive signs, according to Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical School.

On Tuesday, the truck they were driving in slid off Route 28 and crashed into a tree. Both boys underwent surgery after the crash, which happened on their way to school.

Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical School said the older brother opened his eyes and gave his family a thumbs up. The younger brother is also awake and is breathing on his own after having his ventilator removed.

"Positive progress for both boys continues. Our thoughts and well wishes are working. Please keep them coming," the school said.
