Country superstar Wynonna Judd, her daughter and tour manager were headed to a sushi restaurant for dinner last Wednesday, July 21, in Salt Lake City but never made it there. They were involved in a head-on accident. All three were sent to the hospital, but released that night with no serious injuries.
 
“It’s a miracle that I’m alive,” Wynonna told the Lake Tahoe Daily Tahoe Tribune. “I was in a major-head on collision and they didn’t want to let me out of the hospital. I said, ‘Listen, I’ve got to go do a show.’ The guys were like, ‘If anybody can Wynonna, it’s you. You’ve shown us that you have quite the spunk.’”
 
Her response to the hospital empoloyees: “Listen, I’ve spent 10 years on a bus with my mother. If I can do that, I can do anything!
 
“It was pretty dramatic but I’m okay,” Wynonna said the next day, according to The Boot. “One day you’re on top of the world and the next day you’re in the emergency room with a CAT scan and you think- ‘Gosh, life is pretty precious and it’s pretty fragile sometimes. And it’s a miracle that I survived this crash.”
 
Wynonna said her day was “dramatic” but she’s doing fine. “It was quite a day and I got on the bus at midnight feeling pretty lousy. I woke up this morning and I thought, ‘Hmm, I think I’ll do five interviews.”

Wynonna is not going to let her accident get in the way of her fans. She’s promising them that she will be in a euphoric state of mind when she performs.
 
“I’ll be in a mood somewhere between being absolutely overjoyed that I’m OK and my daughter’s OK, to just kicking the enemy’s butt and saying, ‘Yep, you didn’t win today buddy.’”
 
Wynonna still performed last Fri., July 23, at the Jackson County Fair in Central Point, Ore. Catch her on the road again July 31 when she hits the stage in Truckee at Lake Tahoe Music Festival.
