RELIEVED relatives of a teenager who survived a 30ft horror fall from a hotel balcony welcomed her back home in Swindon on Friday night.

Sarah Webster, who broke both her legs, both wrists, fractured her skull and broke her left cheekbone while in the Turkish resort of Marmaris, said she was glad the two longest weeks of her life were over.

Earlier this week, Post Office bosses finally backed down and agreed to cover the 19-year-old's £20,000 medical bill after initially refusing to pay the bills

And they also stumped up the cash needed to fly the teenager back home by air ambulance.

Sarah and her parents, Pat and Scott, who kept a bedside vigil, arrived at Staverton near Chelten-ham in a private jet last evening.

"I'm glad I'm finally on my way home because I desperately want to see the rest of my family," said Sarah, of Cricklade before she got on the plane.

"I want to get back to normal life as soon as possible.

"I'm glad my two weeks of hell are finally overthey were the longest two weeks of my life."

The show jumping enthusiast's brother Richard Nash, 39, who is a paramedic for Gloucestershire Ambulance Service, was there to meet her at Staverton and he helped arrange the helicopter flight to the Great Western Hospital.

Sarah's sister, Harriet Gray, said the whole family was delighted she had returned.

"We're delighted with the end result and I finally feel like I can relax," said the 30-year-old, of Highworth.

"But without the Adver putting the story in the paper and intervention from MP Michael Wills, I think we would have had a bigger fight on our hands.

"But you have to question why it took all this.

"Obviously, we are looking forward to Sarah coming home and that it is all coming to an end," she said.

"But a battle back to health now starts and we hope she has a speedy recovery."

Boyfriend Rick Haines, 21, of Leigh near Cricklade, who has been dating Sarah for a year-and-a-half, expected an emotional reunion.

"It's good news that it has all be sorted out," he said.

"It's been a big worry as I've only had limited contact.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing her."

Sarah had been told her holiday insurance taken out with the Post Office was not valid because she had been drinking.

But senior hospital staff repeatedly admitted that no medical tests had been carried out to determine the alcohol levels in her blood at the time of the accident two weeks ago.

Money originally raised to help pay the medical bill will now be divided between good causes both locally and nationally.
