“There’s lots of conspiracy theorists that want to think someone’s got vampire blood or it’s a Covid thing,” she told RNZ.
“I’ve heard all sorts. I’ve no time for the gossip side of things. Let’s crack on doing life,” she said.
The woman said she had suffered contusions to the forehead and nose with a “substantial amount of blood”.
She said two men had helped her at the scene, one equipped with a first aid kit, for which she was very grateful.
The woman told RNZ she had visited her GP the day after the crash and then spent the night under observation at Accident and Emergency in Wellington.
She contacted police and was interviewed by officers last week, after an appeal for information was issued via the media.
In an update this afternoon, police confirmed they had identified the source of the blood and it was not suspicious.
“Police would like to thank those who brought this to our attention, and all who provided information after the fact.”
