Model returns to Prague to treat tsunami injuries

Czech supermodel Petra Nemcova, injured in the Asian tsunami, has returned to Prague for further treatment, a news agency reported.

Nemcova, who appeared on the cover of 2003 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, was vacationing in Thailand with her boyfriend, photographer Simon Atlee, when the waves swept through their beach hut. She reportedly clung to a tree for eight hours as the water swirled around her.

Atlee, 33, a well-known fashion photographer, remains missing.

Nemcova had been recovering from her injuries, including a broken pelvis, in a Thai hospital. She arrived in Prague on Saturday and was to be hospitalized in Prague for at least a few days, the CTK news agency said.
