( KNZA )--One week after her team’s van rolled off an icy road and into a ditch, a Holton High School cheerleader was released Friday from a Topeka Hospital.
Christa Merriman was released from Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center after undergoing surgeries to reconstruct her nose, fix a fractured vertebrae and a ruptured disk.
WIBW-TV reports Christa will now recover at home for about two weeks before returning to school.
Christa, three teammates and their supervisor were returning home from a basketball game against Perry-Lecompton High School February 15th when their van hit black ice on a bridge just north of Topeka and went into the ditch.
