According to the Tahoe Daily Tribune, Wynonna, her daughter, and her tour manager were briefly hospitalized after a head-on collision Wednesday night.

It’s a miracle that I’m alive,” said Wynonna…“I was in a major head-on collision yesterday and they didn’t want to let me out of the hospital, and I said ‘Listen, I’ve got to go do a show.’ And the guys were like, ‘If anybody can Wynonna, it’s you. You’ve shown us that you have quite the spunk.’ I said, ‘Listen, I’ve spent 10 years on a bus with my mother. If I can do that I can do anything.’”

Wynonna, her daughter, and her tour manager went out for sushi after a show, when they were hit head-on. So far, there have been no comments made about injuries sustained.

I can’t go into that,” she said. “What I can tell you it was pretty dramatic but I’m OK. … I know everybody wants to know details. I’m sure I’ll talk about it on a talk show somewhere down the road. But for right now you’re the only one who knows, which I don’t mind. I’m just telling stories that 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.’

“I’m not in grave danger or anything. It was pretty dramatic but I made it through. I’m really sore today but I’m really grateful to be alive and tonight’s show will be spectacular because 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.’

We are so glad that everyone is OK. You can read more of the story here.
