Middlemore Hospital, Auckland, from cuts to the face suffered when the bottle smashed through the windscreen of the car. Her hospital bed is surrounded by cards from round New Zealand.

would be all right. Her right eyelid was nearly torn off by flying glass. A Whitianga policeman, Constable Ron Meiklen, said that inquiries were still continuing into the incident.
