OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An 11-year-old girl who had her scalp partially torn off nearly a month ago when her hair got caught in the gears of a carnival ride says she’s ready to go home.

Elizabeth “Lulu” Gilreath briefly spoke to reporters Friday at a news conference held at the Omaha hospital where she’s been a patient for four weeks.

Her injury occurred May 7 at a Cinco de Mayo festival in Omaha. Witnesses have said the girl’s ponytail got caught in the ride’s moving parts. She was taken to Nebraska Medical Center after the incident, where she’s had several surgeries. She could go home as soon as Monday.

Nebraska investigators found no indication that the spinning ride was malfunctioning when the incident happened.
