It shows how she shrieked a split-second before impact.
The influencer told her 464,000 followers: “I was in a taxi, just five minutes away from the airport in Mauritius.
“On the final curve, on an unlit road, blinded by everyone else’s high beams from the opposite direction.
“We crashed head-on at 80 km/h into a lorry that suddenly appeared parked in the middle of the street.”
Emily, 25, and her godmother were in the car and the impact force caused them to hit the windscreen.
After coming to her senses, she recalled: “My godmother was delirious, not responding to anything I asked her.”
Emily eventually found the strength to get herself and her godmother out of the wrecked car.
The police helped them get to the airport in time for them to catch their flight to Romania along with their other relatives.
The injured pair checked into a hospital as soon as they landed, as reported on Need To Know.
A snap taken mid-flight shows how Emily’s face was covered in bruises from the crash.
However, the worst injuries were to her legs and she will reportedly need surgery.
The influencer credits her deliverance to God.
She said: “It’s a miracle that I survived.
“Before the impact, I had a premonition and imagined a white angel spreading its wings in front of our car.
“I believe that was God Himself who protected and guided us.”
