SAN DIEGO (WPVI) -- A San Diego woman who was badly injured during a parasailing accident in Mexico is finally back in America.

The nightmare began when Katie Malone was in Puerto Vallarta parasailing.
The rope tethered to a boat somehow broke and she went flying through the air for 45 minutes.
Malone crash-landed and suffered a fractured skull, fractured pelvis, broken ribs, a collapsed lung and other injuries.
Members of Congress helped coordinate Malone's return. She is now recovering at a hospital in San Diego.
