The girl injured in a school minibus crash on State Highway 1 on Tuesday is now home, her school principal says. East Otago High School principal Lennox Sharp said the grandmother of the girl said the girl was ''battered and bruised but not broken''. Her schoolmates were ''pretty resilient'' and pleased to hear she was home safely yesterday morning, Mr Sharp said. She wrote ''a truck just smashed right into the back of me'' before she was thrown forward into another passenger. A police commercial investigation was under way, Sergeant Tony Woodbridge, of Oamaru, said at the scene.
