Dozier Departs Landstuhl

CBS News has released this update: “CBS News Correspondent Kimberly Dozier has departed Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and is en route to Andrews Air Force Base. She will then be transported to Bethesda Naval Medical Center in Maryland. Dozier was injured in a car bomb attack in Baghdad on May 29 that killed CBS News cameraman Paul Douglas and soundman James Brolan. She had been treated at Landstuhl since May 30.”

CBSNews.com adds: “She arrived Wednesday at Ramstein Air Base in a military ambulance and was wheeled onto a C-17 aircraft configured for medical evacuations in a stretcher, one of about 40 patients being flown to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, Air Force Capt. Chrystal Smith said. Her trip to the U.S. was delayed until transport was available, but ‘there’s been a upside to the delays,’ reports CBS News correspondent Elaine Cobbe. ‘She’s stronger now and more able to face the eight-hour flight.'”
