Grammar

critically/seriously injured

The tourists, two of whom are critically injured, were returning from a trip to Puri.

If I replace "critically injured" with "seriously injured", will it have the same meaning?

I would understand the both as having the same meaning. Please you help me with this.

critically means that their lives are in danger - they could die.

Seriously doesn't have that meaning. (necessarily)
