Mormon missionary survives Spain train wreck

A young Mormon missionary from Utah who previously lived through cancer was among the survivors of the Spain train crash that left 80 dead. Stephen Ward, 18, is hospitalized with a fractured vertebra in his neck but is expected to make a full recovery, his father, Raymond Ward, said Thursday.

"When we talked with him he was in good spirits," said Raymond Ward, 45. "He was still joking around with us as he always does."
