De Villota leaves hospital in Spain

Maria de Villota has checked out of a Madrid hospital.

Last week, Marussia’s 32-year-old test driver was transferred from a Cambridge hospital to her native Madrid, 17 days after suffering horror injuries in a straightline aerodynamic test.

After a six-day stay, she then finally went home on Tuesday, La Paz hospital confirmed.

The media statement said de Villota has not incurred brain damage.

"The patient is in good general condition, so she was discharged from hospital yesterday," said the Spanish hospital.

La Paz added that the hospital’s plastic, neurology and eye departments will follow up their treatments.
