She gave an interview about her accident. Apparently she feels a lot better now. She still gets headaches when she does not take it easy though.

She also discussed the extent of her injuries:

A swollen stomach, an 8 cm cut above her left ear, she initially could not talk and she had two epileptic attacks.
