Police said an approaching vehicle had its high beam headlamps illuminated, and the victim briefly illuminated her own high beams to indicate to the approaching driver to dim their lights.
"And I flashed him," the victim said. "I blinked him to turn the lights down because I couldn't see."
"The next think I know is just some pain in my head on the side of my face," she said.
As the other vehicle was passing the victim, she was struck by a single projectile fired from a weapon, police said.
According to police, there are no suspects in custody at this time and the incident is still under investigation.
