\u201cThere\u2019s lots of conspiracy theorists that want to think someone\u2019s got vampire blood or it\u2019s a Covid thing,\u201d she told RNZ.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard all sorts. I\u2019ve no time for the gossip side of things. Let\u2019s crack on doing life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The woman said she had suffered contusions to the forehead and nose with a \u201csubstantial amount of blood\u201d.<\/p>\n

She said two men had helped her at the scene, one equipped with a first aid kit, for which she was very grateful.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

She contacted police and was interviewed by officers last week, after an appeal for information was issued via the media.<\/p>\n

In an update this afternoon, police confirmed they had identified the source of the blood and it was not suspicious.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice would like to thank those who brought this to our attention, and all who provided information after the fact.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThere\u2019s lots of conspiracy theorists that want to think someone\u2019s got vampire blood or it\u2019s a Covid thing,\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":628956,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[4250,1874,305,42,16420,33491,78,8732,43,1118,33551,675,5198,26849,50359,16349,40,38,41,39,36199,52],"class_list":["post-628955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-blood","tag-found","tag-have","tag-headlines","tag-human","tag-identify","tag-in","tag-mystery","tag-news","tag-of","tag-pedestrian","tag-police","tag-pool","tag-solved","tag-source","tag-surrounding","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-tunnel","tag-wellington"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=628955"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628955\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/628956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=628955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=628955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=628955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
