A Spanish publication has spotted a walking and apparently well Maria de Villota entering an outpatient clinic in Spain this week.
After 17 days in a UK hospital, and several more days in hospital in her native Madrid, the 32-year-old finally went home last week.
La Nueva Espana now reports that, almost a full month since her horror Duxford testing crash, de Villota was seen visiting the Instituto Oftalmologico Fernandez-Vega - an eye specialist clinic - in Oviedo, Spain.
The report said she arrived in a black Mercedes with members of her family, with her hair shaved after several recent operations.
La Nueva Espana said wounds were clearly visible, as was a blue eye patch.
The report said video and photographs of de Villota leaving the car and entering the clinic were taken, but they are not being published "at the request of the family"

I really feel for her. Hopefully this will allow her to enjoy and appreciate her life more, and maybe one day she can look back and say this was a moment that changed her life for the good.

I hope her situation gets better. Nice words from her. I am pretty sure if it was another person he would say "Why me?"."I lost this eye for a reason," she insists. "Something in life is waiting for me -- I am sure."
Re: Maria de Villota seriously injured in testing accident
This is what her skull looked like post-crash.
Holy. s***.

Going full throttle is arguably whats killed her. Poor choice of words therenaiego wrote:That's really very sad news.

If its naturally causes I'll wager a fiver on it being an aneurysm or related to the head injury.
